collaborates with groups around the world on a broad range of issues.
If you're interested in submitting a project proposal, the deadline is
23 December 2010. Please see information below and attached. Respond
directly to Liz Brundige-her contact info is below.

*****************************************************************************************************************************************************
Dear Colleagues:
Jim Silk and I are starting to organize clinic projects for the spring
semester, and we wanted to check in with you to see if you have
anything you and your clinic are working that might make for useful
collaboration with the Lowenstein Clinic.
For for ease of reference, I am including in this email a relatively
formal description of the clinic and attaching a set of descriptions
of projects from the last several years organized into several rough
categories and a very general description of the type of relationship
that we typically seek with a partner organization.
Although we do not have rigidly defined parameters for the way in
which we collaborate with organizations, our project selection process
is guided both by our goal of contributing to the efforts of
organizations like yours to protect human rights and by our
pedagogical objective of helping students build the basic knowledge
and skills necessary to be effective human rights advocates.
Our process for selecting projects involves several steps. To get this
process started, we generally ask interested organizations to draft a
short (3-4 paragraph) description of the proposed project. This would
include: (a) some background information about the organization and
the issue; (b) a description of the project you would like to have the
clinic do ( i.e., work product, etc.); (c) the advocacy goal of the
project and the organization's and the clinic's respective roles in
achieving that goal. Often, this initial project proposal leads to a
dialogue between the organization and us that helps us arrive at a
project that meets both of our needs. We are beginning the process
now to allow us to have enough time for this type of valuable
exchange.
Before you prepare a full proposal, however, you may prefer to send us
an email message very briefly outlining your project ideas so that we
can talk with you about whether the project would be appropriate to
pursue further, given your needs and the clinic's goals.
At the start of the spring semester, which begins in late January, we
present the students in the clinic with the final project
descriptions. The students rank their preferences, and we try to
match them to their preferred projects. We generally have a greater
number of compelling proposals than we have the capacity to accept,
and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to take on your project.
We will be able to let you know once we know our final enrollment,
evaluate the mix of projects, and organize the student teams.
The clinic generally selects projects that provide students with a
sense of ownership over their work; that is, unlike an internship in
which interns work on discrete tasks as the need arises, participation
in the clinic usually means working as part of a team of two to four
students on a project that has a focused goal, requires sustained
research and writing, and leads to an identifiable product. We
generally do not take on purely academic work; we may do research
projects, but we try to ensure that such projects have a clear and
fairly direct connection to the partner organization's advocacy goals.
We hope that you will consider proposing a project that would both
help you meet your needs and introduce students to the very important
issues on which you work. Please forward your project description or
inquiry to Jim and me by Wednesday, December 23. Please also feel
free to share this information with colleagues who you think may be
interested in proposing a project to the clinic. If you have any
questions or would like to discuss an idea for a project, please don't
hesitate to contact us by email or phone. Jim's number is
203-432-1729, and I can be reached at 203-432-8368.
We look forward to discussing with you the possibility of
collaborating on a project.
Best regards,
Liz
