Abstract [en]

In recent years, legal clinic courses have become integral components of human rights education programs worldwide, notably in Sweden (Uppsala, Lund), the UK (SOAS, Essex, Glasgow), and the US (Harvard, Columbia, Cornell). This paper investigates the evolving landscape of clinic courses, extending beyond traditional legal frameworks to encompass non‐legal versions. This is exemplified by a three‐year initiative at University College Stockholm (UCS). The study explores legal and non‐legal clinic courses’ transformative potential impact on student learning, emphasizing experiential elements and global perspectives. Through content analyses of curricula and an in‐depth examination of the development of the UCS course, the paper underscores the role of clinic courses in fostering comprehensive understanding as well as personal and professional development. It contends that non‐legal clinic courses, with their interdisciplinary approach, uniquely contribute to preparing students dedicated to advancing global social justice, marking a dynamic advancement in human rights education.
