The U.S. Human Rights Online website supports lawyers working to "bring human rights home."
This practice area is hosted by the Human Rights Institute at Columbia Law School.
Unlike some other probono.net sites, U.S. Human Rights Online does not serve as clearinghouse for pro bono work.
This practice area was initiated by Professor Catherine Powell, former Faculty Director of the Human Rights Institute at Columbia Law School and founder of its Bringing Human Rights Home Project.
