“Coming from Oklahoma where there are so many Indigenous nations, I was drawn to Cornell and upstate New York which also has many Indigenous nations. ”

Experiential Learning

Cornell Law School’s robust and thriving experiential learning program traces its roots back to 1960. Today, it is an essential part of our educational mission, encompassing twenty-three clinics and practicum courses and an extensive array of externships and simulation courses.

In honor of Pride month, we want to highlight some of the amazing work our Gender Justice Clinic has been doing. Last fall, they supported LEGABIBO, the leading LGBTQ+ rights organization in Botswana, in submitting a shadow report to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women. Their report highlighted areas in which LGBTQ+ Batswana continue face grave violations of their human rights, notwithstanding a judicial decision that decriminalized same-sex sexual relations. The review is scheduled for the end of June/early July.

A few weeks ago, this same group of students submitted to the International Association of Women Judges a research memorandum on the Recognition of Foreign Same-Sex Marriages: International Comparison and Implications for Botswana. This comparative research and analysis seeks to inform the work of the IAWJ, as well as LEGABIBO, towards protecting LGBTQ+ rights in Botswana.
