My clinic partner and I train law students on international criminal law but we're questioning whether we're preparing them for a field where prosecution is selective, enforcement is political, and justice is often symbolic while we're supposed to be teaching them that law matters and we haven't figured out how to be honest about the system's failures without crushing their idealism.

Two educators are caught between preparing students for reality and preserving their commitment to justice.
