The US-Israel Civil Liberties Law Fellows, founded and administrated by WCL Professor Herman Schwartz, has, over the past 25 years, graduated more than 50 Fellows who have gone on to create and form the backbone of the human rights bar in Israel. Graduates of the program have created key human rights organizations in Israel and hold important positions in government, the judiciary, academia and the NGO community. The Fellowship, jointly sponsored by the New Israel Fund, offers Israeli lawyers (both Palestinian and Jewish) a two year academic and professional experience including LLM study and professional development at WCL and a one year paid-placement in a human rights NGO in Israel. Today, in addition to the ongoing human rights challenges of such issues as the Occupation, the religious/secular divide, issues of gender, minority rights, disability, citizenship and economic and social rights; human rights organizations themselves are increasingly under fire in Israel. This program will celebrate the accomplishments of the Fellows and the program, but will also examine the future of human rights in Israel with a roundtable discussion of high level Israeli lawyers and activists.
