Goldsmiths Law are hosting the 2019 Human Rights Careers Day by the Human Rights Lawyers' Association (HRLA) Young Lawyers Committee.

This Careers Day is for students and those considering working in human rights law to hear from leading human rights barristers, solicitors, campaigners and academics, who will discuss how different sectors of the human rights legal profession can work together to achieve change.

This event will feature a mixture of panel discussions and break-out discussions, exploring how research, legal advice, litigation, advocacy and other techniques can be used to protect human rights, and students and early-stage lawyers are able to ask questions about the practicalities of entering the profession, hearing from a diverse group of people working in human rights.
