Tech that makes the world a witness to courtroom injustices across the globe

Microsoft announced a partnership with the Clooney Foundation for Justice to help advance human rights through TrialWatch, a program that trains and equips trial monitors to document and determine whether trials are conducted in a fair way. CFJ's strategy, in partnership with the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Columbia Law School and the American Bar Association, is to expose injustices, rally global support, and create pressure on nations to change. The foundation's program will make the world a witness in courtrooms across the globe.
