As the focal point for human rights work at the School of Law, the Buffalo Human Rights Center fosters coursework, research, and scholarship in human rights by providing direction and vision to the study and practice of international human rights law.

The Center for the Advancement of Sport - a major interdisciplinary initiative – provides students with opportunities to get a foothold in the sports industry through experiential learning including externships at local and even national athletic organizations.

The Center takes educational advantage of Buffalo’s location on the Canadian border to provide opportunities for learning about cross-border legal practice. It works closely with our alumni, many of whom are engaged in cross-border legal work in a diverse range of fields including international commercial transactions, immigration, tax and international trade, to introduce students to a range of practice opportunities.

The Jaeckle Center is a research center focused on the study of law and democratic governance.
