When Honduran Indigenous leader and human rights defender Berta Cáceres was assassinated in 2016, the killing sent shockwaves through human rights and environmental movements around the world. Cáceres had been leading opposition to the Agua Zarca hydroelectric dam, a major development project that threatened Lenca territory and water sources in Western Honduras. Nearly a decade later, an international panel has uncovered new information about how her murder was planned, financed, and enabled. Berkeley Law Clinical Professor and Human Rights Clinic Director Roxanna Altholz ’99 was one-third of the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (GIEI), a special investigatory panel created to examine the killing and broader structures behind it.

Growing up, 3L Alex Belkin saw his father and grandfather work tirelessly to build up a business to support his family. Watching them persevere through ups and downs taught him the value of hard work, grit, and the sacrifices it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur. “I’ve also really craved adventure and novelty from an early age,” he says. “I feel like there’s nothing more exhilarating professionally than starting and growing a project, organization, or business.” True to form, Belkin launched two cutting-edge student groups — Blockchain & Law at Berkeley and AI @ Berkeley Law.
