Top Law Schools

My decision to study with the xxx in Johannesburg was motivated by my desire to both delve further into the subject matter and row at the University of the xxx, a serious contender for the national championship. Upon arrival, I began studying a multidisciplinary curriculum analyzing human rights through a philosophical, psychosocial, and legal lens. Though academically stimulated, it did not take much time (nor an oar in my hands) to realize that rights in theory do little to protect the indigent from very real hardships. To reconcile this, I began my work with xxx, a local NGO seeking to demystify the law to vulnerable populations. Through conducting educational workshops on post-release employment opportunities to inmates in Johannesburg Public Prison and facilitating Zimbabwean asylum seekers’ acclimation to South African society through research and instruction on relevant refugee law, I found myself bridging the gap between rights theory and practice.
