Lucerne Academy for Human Rights Implementation

The Lucerne Academy is a 3-week program of coursework and hands-on learning for law students and legal practitioners held at the University of Lucerne.

The Lucerne Academy for Human Rights Implementation will be offered for the ninth time in the summer of 2017 at the University of Lucerne building at Frohburgstrasse 3. Given the realities of human rights implementation, the focus of the program will be on the challenges and practical aspects of litigation and advocacy of human rights. Students will not only learn about the field of human rights,

but about how to incorporate that knowledge into the actual work of defending human rights. Special focus will be placed on advocacy skills such as case assessment, brief writing, and oral argumentation. To that end, the Academy will feature a prominent moot court exercise where students will litigate a hypothetical case from beginning to end, culminating in a program-wide competition. Aside from the practical training, students will also be given a choice of coursework on a variety of topics related to human rights on both progressive and traditional issues. This is a summer law program held in the heart of Europe with a global focus established to create a dynamic and unique training program in human rights.
