Simply put, in the Transnational Legal Clinic, Paoletti is leading an initiative in education without borders. It is an opportunity for students to learn from cases that span the globe and cases found in their own backyard. It is a chance to work on cases that cross cultures, languages, and international laws. It is an exceptional occasion to work with clients who bring home the reality that contemporary legal counsel increasingly means reaching across geographical boundaries to get to the heart of the matter.
