Palestine Advocacy Legal Assistance Project advocates will engage in factual research primarily through interviewing to compile informational reports and presentations regarding anti-Palestinian discrimination or harassment. Palestine Legal attorneys will train members on how to conduct trauma-informed interviewing and relevant research. PALA advocates will have the unique opportunity to witness movement lawyering firsthand, seeing how lawyers can support the movement for Palestinian Liberation and other movements for social change.
Supervision: Students in PALA provide legal services under the supervision of attorneys at Palestine Legal.
Time Commitment: 15-20 hours per semester; Dates and times will be scheduled in the fall based on member and client availability.
