UChicago Law Students Travel to Washington DC for Fifth Annual Cutler Law Fellows Program
Students learn how legal training can be used for the public good
The fifth annual Salzburg Cutler Fellows Program brought together 56 students to Washington, DC last month.
The two-day event, which took place on February 24 and February 25, enabled students to hear from prominent legal professionals and public servants.
The group met at a time where questions continue to arise over the future of international legal frameworks, and the rule of law remains threatened in countries around the world.
Kristalina Georgieva, Salzburg Global Fellow and CEO of the World Bank, and Jared Genser, founder of Freedom Now, spoke at the event.
The students worked closely with faculty advisors from each of the participating law schools - Chicago, Columbia, Duke, Georgetown, Harvard, Michigan, NYU, Penn, Stanford, UVA, and Yale - on workshop research papers tackling issues ranging from human rights to monetary law.
