Sarah Paoletti heads up the Transnational Legal Clinic, where students explore the lawyer’s work in settings that cut across cultures, borders, languages and legal systems. Students in the clinic engage in direct legal representation of individual and organizational clients in matters that raise a myriad of international and comparative legal norms.
Before coming to Penn Law, Paoletti taught in the International Human Rights Law Clinic at American University Washington College of Law, where she also taught a seminar on the labor and employment rights of immigrant workers. Her areas of specialty include international human rights, immigrant rights, asylum law, and labor and employment. She has presented on the rights of migrant workers before the United Nations and the Organization of American States and continues to work on the domestic application of international human rights norms in the United States.
