This training will explore the use of transnational standards in developing state law jurisprudence to protect economic and social rights such as health and housing, as well as non-litigation human rights legal strategies in advocating for economic justice. Lawyers who practice in state court and/or engage in non-litigation economic justice advocacy efforts at the state and local level will benefit from attendance.
