Following my LinkedIn post this morning, we’ve used our AI-powered bulk upload tool to publish 15 new Fantastic Lawyer® bios to expand on our new legal directory, aligned with our mission statement. These profiles (technically 13 lawyers and 2 law firms) spotlight some of the most inspiring human rights and civil rights lawyers working around the world today.
- Amal Clooney (UK) – international human rights barrister
- Parosha Chandran (UK) – modern slavery and trafficking barrister and expert
- Kirsty Brimelow KC (UK) – civil liberties & international rights
- Martina Vandenberg (US) – founder of the Human Trafficking Legal Center
- Ben Crump (US) – civil rights lawyer, police violence cases
- Covington & Burling LLP Pro Bono Team (US) – rights litigation leaders
- Julian Burnside KC (Australia) – refugee & asylum rights advocate
- Jennifer Robinson (Australia) – press freedom & human rights barrister
- Maurice Blackburn Lawyers Social Justice Team (Australia) – public interest litigation firm
- Irwin Cotler (Canada) – global rights advocate, former Minister of Justice
- Flora Pearl Eliadis (Canada) – equality & international rights lawyer
- Fay Faraday (Canada) – constitutional & human rights lawyer
- Baltasar Garzón Real (Spain) – judge on international rights abuses
- Luis Moreno Ocampo (Argentina) – first Chief Prosecutor of the ICC
- Clive Stafford Smith (UK/US) – founder of Reprieve
These new bios are part of our mission to build a trusted, global legal directory where people can quickly find lawyers who make a real difference. This is all still a work in progress in spare time so any feedback welcome via LinkedIn here. Many lessons learned and iterative improvements made already (not least discovering how to avoid hallucinations with an AI-generated CSV for a legal directory on a earlier version… more on that in due course).
If you know other human rights or pro bono lawyers who deserve recognition, please reach out; we’d love to include them in future updates.
