Centers of Excellence

Trinity is home to the Center for Human Rights and the Center for Public Legal Theology. 

The Center for Human Rights

The Center for Human Rights is a research, education, and advocacy center for the promotion and protection of international human rights. The Center provides classroom instruction, career development, and opportunities for participation in research, scholarship, lectures, conferences, and seminars. Along with several human rights courses at Trinity Law School in Santa Ana, the Center sponsors international courses in Europe and Cambodia.

The Center for Public Legal Theology

The Center for Public Legal Theology calls students, scholars, judges, and practitioners to a richer vision of law that refuses fragmentation and embraces coherence; honors constitutional order; grounds justice in transcendent truth; and seeks not mere power, but genuine human flourishing. In doing so, we aim to recover law as a moral enterprise ordered toward the common good; seeing and serving the whole, not merely the parts.
