Committee to Support Chinese Lawyers

The Committee to Support Chinese Lawyers (CSCL) is a group of independent lawyers from outside China whose mission is to support public interest and human rights lawyers inside China in their efforts to strengthen the rule of law. The CSCL, which is housed at the Leitner Center for International Law and Justice at Fordham Law School, helps to strengthen the role of lawyers in China and to promote their independence through research, advocacy, capacity-building, and cross-cultural exchange.
