China's "rights protection" movement has emerged as a significant effort to implement legal rights and to promote government accountability and political reform. Lawyers in the movement face constant challenges, even detention and prison, and yet they continue to demand that China develop a legal system rooted in fairness and accountability.

Topics of Discussion include:

•     Accomplishments, challenges and prospects
•     Individual case litigation, impact litigation and media/political strategies
•     Institutional and international contexts: impact of foreign examples and assistance.
