Harvard Human Rights and Business - HuB

04/11/2021

Join Profit$ of Justice (Professor Hanson's Corporations Class) on Monday, April 12th at 12pm for a virtual lunch talk with Charity Reyerson, Executive Director and Founder of Corporate Accountability Lab, Tom Sobel, Partner at Hagens Berman, and Alec Karakatsanis, Founder and Executive Director of Civil Rights Corps. This round table discussion will focus on the moral and ethical implications of representing large, global corporations. When, if ever, do traditional professional norms of zealous advocacy perpetuate harm, and why should law students/lawyers care? This talk is open to all members of the HLS community.

Mandatory human rights due diligence is no longer a pipe dream: The EU plans to introduce legislation! Read HKS Corporate Responsibility Initiative Research Fellow (and former HuB Board member) Ben Rutledge's take on what this means for US businesses:

The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre is at a critical point in its development. Our digital platform is home to a wealth of information on business and human rights, but hasn’t had a visual refresh for a number of years.
