My name is Angela Sterling and I am
a 3L student staff member for the Center for Global Justice. I had
the privilege of joining the Center for Global Justice last semester as part of
the student staff and worked on the Shared Hope project. The new semester has
brought me a new project.
Last semester, I worked on the
Shared Hope Project. The project consisted of researching individual state legislation
regarding child trafficking statutes, Children in Need statutes, responsibilities
of individual state’s child protective services, its procedures, and how the
legislation applies to create a "caregiver barrier" that can prevent child sex trafficking victims from receiving services.
This semester, I will be working on
the Justice Ventures International (JVI) project. Justice Ventures
International’s mission is, “to secure freedom, justice, and restoration for
the poor and oppressed by strengthening ventures that promote justice.” The
organization is founded in the Christian worldview and works with local
cultures and leadership to create sustainable justice ventures. The project
consists of creating a legal section for the lawyer’s manual that will be used
to help obtain government services for the poor in Bihar, India. I am part of a
team of student staff that will be researching and drafting the legal guide for
each of the 43 entitlements listed in the advocacy manual for the state of
Bihar.
I am excited to work on this new
project this semester. I have never researched foreign laws or cases before and
I am excited and eager to learn new skills working on this project.
