Professor Jocelyn Getgen Kestenbaum, director of Cardozo's Human Rights and Atrocity Prevention Clinic, spoke with U.S. News & World Report about the importance of a good clinical experience in law school for aspiring human rights lawyers. "The first thing a human rights legal employer will look for on the resume of a law student or a recent grad is whether the person participated in a human rights law clinic," she said. "A recent law grad is unlikely to be a viable candidate for human rights law positions if he or she did not take a clinical course in human rights. The competition is fierce for these kinds of jobs, so the clinical experiential piece of it is critical."
