Karis Chi
Legal Fellow - Kampala, Uganda

"Here in Uganda, I’ve seen the impossible – discovery of absconded perpetrators, return of funds stolen from orphans – become possible. I’ve been able to use my litigation experience to help the office take its first case to trial. I’ve had the privilege of teaching the law to rural residents who have never known that law could be a force on their side. I’m also learning a great deal from my Ugandan colleagues about the tenacity and resourcefulness it takes to practice law in a place with very few resources, and about the humility and humor it takes to co-labor with people from the other side of the world."
