Columbia Human Rights Law Review

Columbia Human Rights Law Review

The Columbia Human Rights Law Review is a law review established in 1967 focusing on human rights issues. Produced by students of the Columbia University School of Law, it is "dedicated to the analysis and discussion of human rights and civil liberties under both domestic and international law."[1]

The journal also produces A Jailhouse Lawyer's Manual, designed as a legal resource to help prisoners and others to understand the US legal system.
