My latest analysis, just published.

The U.S. Supreme Court recognizes Robert Burgdorf '70, '73 J.D. as “the drafter of the original Americans with Disabilities Act bill," but in 1971, he was an Notre Dame Law School student looking for a worthwhile project to work on. Read his full reflection: go.nd.edu/e65aa5 #ADAday

#Venezuela: Volker Türk extremely concerned about increasing tensions with worrying reports of violence since last Sunday’s election. Authorities must respect the rights of all Venezuelans to assemble & protest peacefully & express their views freely & without fear.

PSA: My attention was called to scam email circulating at Notre Dame that mentioned I'm recruiting undergraduates for remote internships. Not true, doesn't refer to my ND email or official information from the Law School Human Rights LLM Program or Global Human Rights Clinic.

Proud to see our outstanding NDLS Global Human Rights Clinic team thriving. Our Fellows Faisal Yamil Meneses, Josemaria Rodriguez, Irene Pamblanco were selected to present our panel “Human Rights Methodology in Clinical Instruction” at the Midwest Clinical Conference in November! Bravo!

Teaching on Labor Day! 67 students in my 7th academic year teaching at ND. This fall, I'm teaching the Global Human Rights Clinic course, Journal of Intl & Comp Law, Directed Readings for JD and JSD at the Law School, then International Law & Human Rights at the Keough School.

Our 9-month old Notre Dame Law School Global Human Rights Clinic now actively works on cases in Africa (Chad and Cameroon), Latin America (Venezuela, Nicaragua, El Salvador) and the Caribbean (Haiti), Asia (10 ASEAN States plus Timor Leste), Europe (UK), and partner international organizations.

Epic and historic. In the University of Oxford’s Chichele Professor of International Law Dapo Akande, the UK certainly nominated the best candidate for election to the International Court of Justice. Bravo! ejiltalk.org/congratulation…
