Human Rights First (HRF) is a non-profit, privately funded, nonpartisan human rights organization that seeks to protect refugees fleeing persecution, victims of crimes against humanity, victims of discrimination, those whose rights are eroded in the name of national security, and human rights advocates targeted for defending the rights of others. Students work in one of six core programs and assist by conducting research and drafting memoranda on substantive and procedural legal issues, analyzing legislation, conducting fact researching and reporting on human rights conditions; and editing legal filings and publications.
