UMass Law Professor Margaret Drew analyzed the differences between how the U.S. Supreme Court and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights approach human rights violations. Professor Drew presented her analysis as part of the Childress Human Rights Symposium at St. Louis University. The comparative analysis focused on the cases of Castle Rock v. Gonzales and Lenahan v. U.S., which involved whether an individual protected by a restraining order has the right to police enforcement of the order. Professor Drew suggests that the U.S. alter its remedial approach in order to compensate those who have suffered human rights violations at the hand of the state.

The essay, Truth Seeking: The Lenahan Case and the Search for a Human Rights Remedy, appears in the St. Louis University Law Journal.
