How to Become a Human Rights Attorney

Edited by Missy Lace, Chris Hadley, Judithavory, K.C and 2 others
Human rights lawyers advocate on behalf of people suffering from persecution, abuse, and rights violations around the world. Using the courts as a means for stopping actions against their clients or as a means to seek damages for victims, human rights attorneys are both legal professionals and activists. Human rights lawyers often work with non-profit agencies like Human Rights Watch or Amnesty International; there are also many civil and human rights-focused private law firms. This article is focused on how to become a human rights attorney if you are starting your education in the United States

The Evolution of People-Powered Markets: 60 Resources

There is a growing movement towards peer-to-peer value exchange and production, prompted by a variety of things, like economic conditions, shifting cultural values, exploration into collective intelligence, and further enabled by social technologies. I’ve been tracking the online marketplaces that have been cropping up for sharing, swapping, gifting and renting, as well as sites that give people different kinds of opportunity to share skills and knowledge, innovate, and work collaboratively both on and offline. Below are a few sites I’ve come across, please add any I’ve missed.
