A Human Rights Lawyer advocates for individuals and groups whose rights have been violated. You might work for non-profit organisations, government agencies, or private law firms. Human Rights Lawyers focus on cases related to discrimination, freedom of speech, and social justice. You'll research legal precedents, prepare case materials, and represent clients in court to ensure their rights are protected and upheld.

Human Rights Lawyers play a crucial role in promoting social justice and equality. You'll need to be compassionate and resilient, with strong communication and analytical skills. You'll work closely with clients and other legal professionals to build strong cases and provide the necessary support to ensure justice is served.
