Life at Cornell Law

The kinds of students who choose to study at a small law school nestled in the middle of the Finger Lakes are the kinds of people comfortable forging their own paths.
“At Cornell Law School you not only learn from professors but also from colleagues from all over the world, which broadens your perspective on the law.”
Kanyapak Wiriyapongsukit, LL.M. '23

In honor of Pride month, we want to highlight some of the amazing work our Gender Justice Clinic has been doing. Last fall, they supported LEGABIBO, the leading LGBTQ+ rights organization in Botswana, in submitting a shadow report to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women. Their report highlighted areas in which LGBTQ+ Batswana continue face grave violations of their human rights, notwithstanding a judicial decision that decriminalized same-sex sexual relations. The review is scheduled for the end of June/early July.
 
A few weeks ago, this same group of students submitted to the International Association of Women Judges a research memorandum on the Recognition of Foreign Same-Sex Marriages: International Comparison and Implications for Botswana. This comparative research and analysis seeks to inform the work of the IAWJ, as well as LEGABIBO, towards protecting LGBTQ+ rights in Botswana.
