PALO ALTO, USA | 26 JUNE 2020

An independent, non-partisan, international community of change-makers committed to promoting the rule of law and transforming the world through law.

Our Focus

|  Business & Human Rights  |

Since the last decade, business and human rights cases - corruption, labour exploitation and other atrocious business practices that violate human rights have been on the rise. However, only a handful of people, including lawyers and law students are aware of this emerging area of human rights law. We seek to promote the mutuality of business and human rights amongst lawyers and law students and work with companies to ensure the transparency, sustainability and accountability of businesses.
|  Technology & Cybersecurity  |

Nearly every aspect of our life revolves around the cyber world. In this connected era, privacy is a rare luxury and the protection of confidential information has become a priority of States, businesses and individuals alike. We work with lawyers, legislators and technology experts to safeguard the interest of the vulnerable and facilitate the building of a safe, private and secure world. We believe technology is an enabler and that with better harnessing and regulation can improve and impact lives .
​
|  Freedom of Expression  |

Freedom of expression is an inalienable fundamental human right that should be enjoyed by everyone. Despite being the 21st century, this centuries-old concept remains a difficult one to advance. On one hand, one's freedom of expression should be respected and protected. On the other hand, freedom of expression should not be used to justify the spreading of hate and divide within society.  We promote responsible expression and encourage States to uphold the freedom of expression of individuals.
|  Global Health  |

Globalisation has resulted in heightened interactions beyond national borders and increased global health threats.  These problems require a multi-disciplinary approach to achieve worldwide health improvement (including mental health), access to quality healthcare and the reduction of disparities. We facilitate the conversations necessary to encourage borderless collaborations that are well-supported by legal frameworks .

​
| Diversity and Inclusion |

Innovation starts with diversity and diversity is championed through inclusion. We believe the greatest value is created  when people from different backgrounds - racial, sexual, religious, disability and age are given a voice that allows them to bring their unique perspectives to the table. We celebrate diversity within and beyond the legal field and promote equal opportunities and affirmative action. We encourage collaboration and help lawyers and law students develop cultural competence and expand their capabilities.
| Sustainability and Environment |

The future of our earth and children are in our hands. While promoting jobs and stronger economies are vital to eradicating poverty, the harmful effects of pollution, climate change, endangerment and extinction of flora and fauna cannot be ignored. We work with legislators, lawyers, law students, environmental advocates to promote sustainable economic growth. We encourage collaboration and the sharing of technology to preserve and improve people's health and livelihoods while protecting our home, Earth.

​EDUCATION
​Through global conferences, seminars, workshops and the provision of a digital learning platform, we help law students and young professionals stay up to date with the development in different areas of law. We provide engaging and quality learning experiences in hopes of sparking a lasting interest and filling the gaps of the traditional legal education model.
