While part of the university, it functions as a vital legal resource for some of the most vulnerable populations in the state. The Center provides direct, pro bono legal representation to victims of human rights abuses, ensuring that justice is accessible to those who might otherwise be voiceless.

The Center’s attorneys, assisted by dedicated law students, fight tirelessly to protect the dignity and rights of their clients.
