This course provides an overview of human rights advocacy with insight into using strategic litigation as a human rights tool within social movements and methods that exist for strategic litigation beyond the courtroom. The course will provide tools of strategic litigation and social action that achieve optimal results for your organization or social movement. We will focus on strategizing, involving actors relevant to your movement (including authorities and other organizations), and creating immediate as well as long term results. We also will explore funding strategic litigation and different forms of campaigning.

External input from strategic litigation actors from around the world will further sharpen our approach to strategic litigation methods and offer further comprehension into the ways and means of strategic litigation that we have developed in the course.
