On May 5, American University Washington College of Law’s Academy on Human Rights and Humanitarian Law hosted a virtual event, “Pandemia y Derechos Humanos: Situaciones de Emergencia y la Supervisión Internacional” (The Pandemic and Human Rights: Emergency Situations and International Supervision).

In their first year of law school, students develop strong bonds within their first-year sections as they encounter and tackle the new challenges law school brings.  To honor and celebrate these bonds, AUWCL created a new tradition in Spring 2019 – 1L Section Reunions for the graduating class.

It is no secret the American University Washington College of Law campus is filled with lush trees, beautiful landscaping, and state-of-the-art facilities – and now, thanks to some AUWCL students and administrators, a community garden.

For over 20 years, AUWCL has been training upper-level students and practitioners in emerging legal fields with courses offered by our nationally ranked programs and internationally recognized institutes. This year, programs have developed original, timely online course content that will allow participants a deep dive into different areas of the law.

Frank Waliczek always wanted to attend law school, but the 3L student wasn’t interest in following the traditional route. “After spending some time working with wildlife in South Africa, I knew I wanted to use my future law degree to protect our planet’s wildlife, their habitats, and the people that depend on them,” Waliczek said.
