What: Triggering the Duty to Investigate in Situations of Armed Conflict

When: July 22, 2015, 2-3.30pm

Where: Wilf Hall (139 MacDougal St) 5th Floor Conference Room

Valid ID and RSVP required. RSVP here or email Audrey.Watne@nyu.edu. Refreshments will be provided.

What triggers a state’s obligation to investigate allegations of war crimes during situations of armed conflict? Both international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law (IHRL) impose a duty on states to investigate allegations of serious violations to ensure accountability and safeguard a victim’s right to a remedy. This obligation continues to exist during situations of armed conflict, but its contours have not been fully delineated. While courts and commentators agree that the modalities of an investigation remain largely the same regardless of whether an armed conflict situation exists, what triggers an investigation is likely to differ during armed conflict given that the killing of civilians is not per se illegal during war. As such, not every civilian death during armed conflict will trigger the duty to carry out a criminal investigation. In general, only those allegations that raise a reasonable suspicion of the commission of a war crime will trigger a state’s duty to conduct an investigation. But how is “reasonable suspicion” assessed and by whom? A complaint that facially alleges a violation should trigger, at minimum, an inquiry to determine if the facts give rise to a reasonable suspicion of a serious violation, which would then necessitate a criminal investigation. This presentation will examine this initial inquiry, including several examples of state practice, and whether and to what extent human rights standards do or should apply.

The Graduate Lawyering Program is seeking rising 2Ls and 3Ls to serve as teaching assistants for Graduate Lawyering I. There will be 11 sections in the fall. The 9 one-credit sections meet every other week; the 2 two-credit sections meet every week. Three additional sections meet for one week in January, the week before the start of spring classes.

Professors Mary Holland, Irene Ayers, Karen Ross, and Judge Gerald Lebovits will teach these classes. The course focuses on legal research, writing and analysis. Students enrolled in the course gain significant practical training. TAs work with students on their ongoing writing projects, advising on structure, content, and style, as well as providing instruction on legal citation. TAs work closely with faculty in a collegial atmosphere.

The Graduate Lawyering I course is for international LLM students and is required for most foreign-trained attorneys expecting to sit for the New York Bar exam. The course employs the same teaching methodologies as the Lawyering Program, but is streamlined and refined specifically for international graduate students. The LLM students are typically lawyers admitted to the bar in other countries and generally have two or more years of practice experience. Many LLM students are non-native English speakers, with varying expertise in US legal research and writing. These students are eager to learn about the American legal system and culture and to get to know JDs who may be in their other classes.

Working with LLM students is both personally and professionally rewarding, providing the opportunity to start a global professional network while still in law school. It is an excellent opportunity for those with teaching aspirations, and it will give all TAs a chance to focus on their own legal research, writing and analytical skills in the context of helping others.

The Program seeks JD students with strong research, writing and analytical skills, together with excellent people skills.

Graduate Lawyering TAs will receive credit towards their JD degrees.

To apply, please send your resume, transcript and a writing sample to the Office of Graduate Affairs at law.graduateaffairs@nyu.edu with “Graduate Lawyering TA” in the subject line. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Professor Mary Holland, Director of the Graduate Lawyering Program, at mary.holland@nyu.edu.

We have received from The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation five fellowships of $5,000 each for the 2015–16 academic year. Third year students currently enrolled are eligible to apply.

Bradley Student Fellowships are designed to support Bradley’s own academic mission. That mission rests on the presupposition that responsible self-government depends not only on intelligent laws, but also the creation of a civic environment that encourages enlightened citizens to participate in a discussion of controversial issues. Consistent with these ideals, the Foundation hopes that student fellows will work and study in areas that explore the role of limited government in a legal regime that fosters a dynamic marketplace for economic, intellectual, and cultural activity, both in the United States and abroad.

There are no specific papers or course requirements for the receipt of this award. At the end of the academic year, the committee wishes to receive a short statement which summarizes the way in which a recipient’s studies and activities at the Law School during the 2015–16 academic year have worked to advance the academic objectives of the Bradley Fellowship program.

Interested students should submit a resume and a one-page statement indicating their interest in the mission of the Bradley Foundation. Please send your submissions to Professor Epstein at richard.epstein@nyu.edu with a copy to Eva Dorrough at eva.dorrough@nyu.edu no later than August 1, 2015.

Please contact Eva Dorrough at eva.dorrough@nyu.edu with any questions.

We live in a staggeringly unequal world. The growing gap between the rich and the poor within and between countries has spurred outcry from nearly all corners:  Protestors have taken to the streets across the globe, from Zuccotti Park and Ferguson, Missouri to Tahrir Square and Athens, Greece, denouncing disparity and demanding democracy. Headlines about the economic divide appear with increasing frequency in the press. Anti-poverty and development organizations have made tackling various forms of inequality paramount. Economists and political scientists have attracted attention with new studies on the causes and consequences of unequal wealth and income distribution. And policymakers, facing these mounting pressures, are finding it increasingly difficult to ignore the gulf between “the haves” and the “have nots.”  Yet, in this rising chorus, the voices of human rights scholars and practitioners have been far from prominent.

In response to these trends, the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice (CHRGJ) has launched a new initiative on inequality, the global economy and human rights.  The initiative seeks to critically examine the role of international human rights law, scholarship, and advocacy in regulating the global economy and countering its tendency to exacerbate inequalities of various types—from economic gaps to social and political divides.  Disparities frequently fall along lines of gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity, religion, or physical ability, creating mutually reinforcing spirals of inequality.

As part of this initiative, CHRGJ is organizing a photography project to explore the myriad ways in which people witness, interpret, and experience inequalities. We are seeking images that visually represent various forms of inequality and portray struggles for equality, illustrating through photographs the links between inequality and human rights. We welcome photographs that depict inequalities and efforts to combat them here in the United States or anywhere in the world, as the lack of formal and substantive equality threatens human rights all over the globe.

We invite all those with an interest in this topic to submit original photographs depicting inequality —however they understand that term — before August 15, 2015, by emailing a high resolution digital copy of the picture to tine.destrooper@nyu.edu. (Images must be sent in .jpeg format with at least 2000 pixels length).

All submissions must be the original work of the photographer, and must be consistent with CHRGJ’s ethical guidelines for photographs. Each submission should indicate the date and location of the photograph, and include a caption and/or description of how the image represents inequality and its link to human rights. By submitting a photograph, the photographer gives permission to CHRGJ to post the image in the Center’s office, on the Center’s website, and to distribute via the Center’s social media accounts, without remuneration. Photographs may also be used by New York University (NYU) and NYU School of Law.

CHRGJ will select up to five pictures that reflect the multifaceted nature of inequality or the fight for equality. These pictures will be printed in large format, displayed at CHRGJ’s office at NYU School of Law, and presented to the public during CHRGJ’s welcome event in early September 2015. The photographs will be displayed during the entire academic year in the CHRGJ office. At the end of the academic year 2015-16 in May 2016, each high-quality print will be awarded to the photographer who submitted the selected image. Other submissions may be posted on CHRGJ’s website and featured through our social media. Submissions that CHRGJ considers offensive or that fall outside of the scope of the project will not be published.

For further information, please write to tine.destrooper@nyu.edu.

CHRGJ’s Ethical guidelines for photography

Documenting issues of human rights through photographs presents particular challenges.  In some instances the act of photographing people and/or publishing and distributing those photos places them or their peers at risk of retribution or stigmatization.

CHRGJ has developed the following guidelines (based on the standards of UNICEF and the NPAA) to help ensure that photographs appearing on the Center’s website or in Center publications adhere to principles of ethical reporting: serving the public interest without compromising the rights of individuals or communities.

1. The dignity and human rights of each person portrayed should be respected in all circumstances.
2. In photographing topics related to human rights, special attention should be paid to each subject’s right to privacy and confidentiality and to protection from harm and retribution.
3. The best interests of persons portrayed in a photograph should take precedence over any other consideration, including advocacy objectives.
4. Do not publish a story or an image which might put the portrayed person or his or her family/peers at risk, even when identities are changed, obscured, or not used.
5. Be as accurate and comprehensive as possible in the representation of subjects. Provide context when photographing subjects to avoid stereotyping individuals and groups. Recognize and strive to avoid presenting biases in the work.
6. Take care not to intrude on private moments of actors to obtain interesting footage.
7. Editing should maintain the integrity of both the content and the context of the photographic image. Do not manipulate images or add or alter sound in any way that can mislead viewers or misrepresent subjects.

3. Sit for an oral interview. Selected students must be available on Monday, August 31 between 10:00 AM-2:00 PM or Tuesday, September 1 between 4:00-8:00 PM for the oral placement test that will be administered by the Spanish for Lawyers instructor. The location and specific hours of the oral interviews will be communicated directly to qualifying students.

If you are interested in working as a judicial clerk after you graduate and have not already completed the CSM/Symplicity Clerkship Registration form, please click here to complete the form. If you do not register for clerkships on CSM/Symplicity, you may miss out on important emails from the Judicial Clerkship Office about the clerkship process.

In addition, we are writing to remind you that you can register now for an account on  – the online website where federal judges list clerkships and receive electronic clerkship applications. To register, please go to the OSCAR Registration page and click the “Are You Applying?” link.  To help you navigate the site, attached to this email is the “OSCAR Quick Reference Guide for Applicants.”

Once you have registered on OSCAR you will be able to view clerkship listings posted by judges, but you will not be able to build or submit any applications on OSCAR until August 1, 2015. As we mentioned during the 1L meeting, you should look at the hiring preferences for each judge and the position details (under the Clerkships List tab for each judge) to ascertain which judges want applications from rising 2Ls and which judges are looking for rising 3L and alumni applicants.

We recommend registering for daily or weekly updates on OSCAR so you can monitor the judges who are posting for the 2017 term. To register for updates: (1) log into your OSCAR account; (2) click the “My Profile” tab; (3) click the “Edit Profile” button; (4) select an “Email Frequency” [either Daily or Weekly]; (5) select the “Preferred Types” of judges; (6) select your “Preferred States” or leave blank to receive listings from all states; and finally, (7) click the “Update Profile” button.

We have heard that some of the most competitive judges (such as the DC Circuit and a few highly competitive 9th Circuit judges) are willing to consider applications now. If you are a Pomeroy Scholar or think you would be a very strong candidate for these highly competitive clerkships, please email Michelle at michelle.cherande@nyu.edu.

The most recent copies of the Judicial Clerkship Handbook and Appendix are available from your CSM/Symplicity account under the “Clerkships” top link.
