RelisLaw Center for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism

At RelisLaw we are developing a research base for global human rights activists and legal scholars working in socio-legal studies around the world with the aim of improving the situation of individuals suffering injustices and seeking help from legal or quasi-legal bodies.
 
The research here showcases some of this work, and will be expanding in the months to come in order to support those making a difference in society, and offering a North American base from which to broaden their work as well as the public’s knowledge.
