We call on the Russian government to cease its unprovoked attack and to withdraw its forces. We call on our university to continue to show publicly its support for Ukranian academics and students, and their right to continue their studies in peace and security. As Student Law Clinic supervisors and teachers we wish to show our support for our colleagues in student law clinics in universities across the Ukraine. As law clinicians we have a strong belief in the vital importance of access to justice for all and the rule of law. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is an attack on those fundamental principles. If violence and force is allowed to prevail then there can be no fair or just society.
