Fletcher, the founding director of the Global Rights Innovation Lab Clinic (GRIL), and Valentina Rozo Angel, the clinic’s Data and Technology Clinical Supervisor.GRIL, which enrolled its first cohort of students last year, operates at the crossroads of human rights and digital technology, developing and using data-driven tools to bolster local advocacy, policy, and social change — at home and abroad — in support of human rights defenders and victims. The clinic grew out of Fletcher’s work over more than two decades of leadership at Berkeley Law’s Human Rights Clinic. GRIL”s model allows students to build legal cases using data science analyses on large datasets and create digital storytelling tools to support policy advocacy. For the full transcript, show notes, and links, please visit this episode page on the Berkeley Law Podcast Hub.
