Dr. Hilado provides pro bono evaluations in partnership with the Midwest Human Rights Collaborative and the Chicago People’s Rights Collaborative.

To date, Dr. Hilado has supported training in this area of practice including joint sessions with the UChicago Pozen Human Rights Center and UChicago Law School in April 2024. The Lab will house future research on the nature of the clinical process during evaluations and best practices in this area of work.
