CCR Legal Director Baher Azmy will join a distinguished panel titled, "How Can Strategic Litigation Deliver Transformative Change? International Perspectives." The panel is part of a larger three-day conference in Belfast, Northern Ireland, that brings together NGOs, community activists, litigators, academics, and funders to reflect on the extent to which strategic litigation can transform lives and enable people and communities to realize their rights. With speakers from different geographic and legal settings, the conference aims to explore a) lessons learned from the use of test case litigation to date; b) strategic litigation as a tool for promoting social justice; and c) models and approaches to supporting strategic litigation.

Baher and his co-panelists Judith Stein and Nurina Ally will provide insights on how strategic litigation can advance change, drawing on experience about why a litigation strategy was followed, what outcomes were achieved, what challenges were experienced, and to what extent these were overcome.
