CLEAR and WorldBoston Welcome Global Delegation
Northeastern University School of Law’s Center for Law, Equity and Race (CLEAR), in partnership with WorldBoston, hosted 24 delegates from the US Department of State’s 2025 International Visitor Leadership Program in February. The group of international delegates came to learn about the criminal and civil systems of justice under the United States’ structure of federalism.
