Movement Lawyering: International Context
Channel: The Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society
Date: 10/08/2020

A two-part series serving as an introduction to movement lawyering, a model by which legal representation and advice are integrated into a greater social movement, rather than operating as a separate, parallel process. Movement lawyering looks at building the power of people and movements with the law as a tool, through challenging structural dis-empowerment and oppression that legal systems often play into.

Part one of this event featured Afsaneh Rigot and Youmna Makhlouf discussing implementation in an international context.
