Unlocking the power of legal advocacy – STARLIGHT 2024

Kersty McCourt and Márta Pardavi share why advocacy is so important and what good legal advocacy for fundamental rights looks like. The STARLIGHT programme is a collaboration between Hertie School ExecutiveEducation and the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, funded by the European Union and empowers legal practitioners to harness the Charter of Fundamental Rights for strategic litigation in the EU. The STARLIGHT programme is funded by The Citizens, Equality, Rights and Value programme (CERV) of the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the EU CERV-Programme.
