Sarah Paoletti

Sarah Paoletti, Practice Professor of Law, directs the Transnational Legal Clinic, the law school’s international human rights and immigration clinic. Students enrolled in the clinic represent individual and organizational clients in a myriad of cases and projects that require them to grapple with international and comparative legal norms in settings that cut across borders, legal systems, cultures, and languages. Her research focuses on the intersection of human rights, migration, and labor law, and she has presented on this theme before the United Nations and the Organization of American States. Her recent scholarship includes Transnational Approaches to Transnational Exploitation: A Proposal for Bi-National Migrant Rights Clinics and Redefining Human Rights Lawyering Through the Lens of Critical Theory: Lessons for Pedagogy and Practice (co-author).
