In March of 2014, over Spring Break, clinic students Brian Ahn, '14, Alex Kiles, '14, and Marco Segatti, a JSD candidate, traveled to Delhi, India, to work with a local NGO, Nazdeek, to examine the city’s housing policies and advocate for greater protection for slum dwellers and homeless people. The trip culminated in a presentation to the Law Commission of India and former chief justice of the Delhi High Court, A.P. Shah. The Commission is working on drafting a housing bill in India. The students were accompanied by Professor Sital Kalantry and Clinic Fellow Brian Citro. Read more about their work.
