Please join Human Rights Law Society on Wednesday, October 3rd at 12:15 pm in Room A for a conversation with Jim Hepburn, an attorney with the Department of Justice's Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section (HRSP), on the office and his career. HRSP investigates and prosecutes cases against human rights violators and other international criminals for genocide, torture, war crimes, recruitment or use of child soldiers, female genital mutilation, international antiquities trafficking, and for immigration and naturalization fraud arising out of efforts to hide their involvement in such crimes. HRSP also prosecutes perpetrators of other international violent crimes, particularly those involving the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act or occurring within the Special Maritime & Territorial Jurisdiction of the United States. Finally, HRSP prosecutes members of international criminal smuggling networks. In addition to its prosecutorial activities, HRSP is actively engaged in policy work, both domestically and internationally.
