Law & Leadership Summer Program 2024
Embark on a transformative journey this summer with KARAMAH's Law and Leadership Summer Program (LLSP). Designed for aspiring Muslim women leaders and those who support them, this immersive experience offers a unique blend of Islamic legal education, leadership development and conflict resolution skill building.
Founded in 2002, KARAMAH's Law and Leadership Summer Program (LLSP) brought together a select group of Muslim women from around the world to study and to learn from each other and from top professors and practitioners. LLSP courses provide participants with a greater understanding and essential skills needed to lead themselves, their peers, and the causes they are passionate about.
LLSP is a unique program diverse in ideas and cultures, but unified in its commitment to developing Muslim women's understanding of Islamic Law, Leadership, and Conflict Resolution. This year, the program will allow for both In Person and Virtual participation, providing for flexibility to meet individual needs, while giving an opportunity for an enhanced networking and learning through in person engagement.
Recent developments on university campuses have raised important Constitutional issues, such as freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and other civil liberties, as well as questions regarding international human rights. Therefore, KARAMAH leadership has modified the format and timeline of the program this year to provide content tailored to the needs of U.S and international students and young professionals, which we believe will foster a greater sense of support and community.
The program will kick off in June with a Virtual Networking session, followed by six (6) monthly online lectures (July - December) on Constitutional Law, Islam & Democracy and International Human Rights. The signature Washing, D.C. immersion program will then take place from January 6 - 16, 2025, which will include lectures, panels, networking, site visits, and special guest speakers.
Through interactive workshops, insightful seminars, and for those who can take part in the D.C immersion program, meetings with key leaders and visits to area sites, participants will gain invaluable skills, knowledge, and connections. Join us and discover your power to make a difference in the world by developing your knowledge base so that you can have a greater impact in your profession and in the promotion of civil and human rights.
