Clinic Description

The Global Rights Innovation Lab Clinic (GRIL) is a new clinic at Berkeley Law that will launch in January 2025. It will work at the intersection of human rights and digital technology to generate compelling, data-driven human rights advocacy through documentation, analysis, and narratives to drive legal advocacy, policy decisions, and social change strategies. Once the mainstay of human rights campaigns, in the new media landscape, traditional human rights fact-finding reports and policy briefs have a limited audience. Utilizing data analysis and visualization tools to uncover patterns of injustice, discrimination, and human rights abuses, and presenting findings in a compelling and accessible manner deepens stakeholder engagement and reaches new audiences. Through its work, the Clinic aims to train the next generation of human rights lawyers to support human rights activists, address systemic drivers of discrimination and marginalization, and promote human rights values and causes by harnessing the power of data and technology to advance innovative legal and advocacy strategies.

The Clinic adopts a problem-based, holistic approach, which recognizes that while traditional legal strategies are vital, these must work in concert with additional interventions to advance social justice including community engagement, data analysis, storytelling, and collaborative partnerships. Working in service of human rights organizations and in compliance with human rights standards, the Clinic is a site of innovation and experimentation. We seek to utilize a variety of digital technologies to create advocacy outputs for our clients and partners that will enhance engagement, decision-making, and audience experience using data visualization, digital storytelling, and/or AI technologies.

Finally, by training graduate students to leverage digital technologies to convey complex relationships between facts and law, enhance audience engagement, enable proactive decision making, or foster empathy and promote awareness of social justice causes, the Clinic creates a pipeline of professionals who are ready on day one to harness the power of digital technologies to advance social justice.
