Rule of Law Capstone Project
The Rule of Law Capstone Project is the culmination of the student's academic and personal experiences in the PROLAW program. In carrying out the Capstone Project, students will have the opportunity to consolidate everything they have learned in the PROLAW curriculum and reinforce their practical experience in applying this knowledge and skills through a final multi-faceted exercise. The final outcome of this course will enable each student to demonstrate in relation to a specific real-world law and governance reform process that he or she is capable of using what was learned in PROLAW to produce useful and professional documentation and communicate this content to clients and stakeholders effectively. In some cases, students may develop or have a preexisting relationship with an external organization, which provides an opportunity for the student to work on their particular topic. Students may alternatively decide to conduct research and determine the need and feasibility of a possible initiative to address the problem they identify. Likewise, students can also choose to develop a project to implement an existing agenda or initiative at the national or international levels. Each student will be supervised by a Capstone Project advisor.
