As a Chayes International Public Service Fellow, David Palko (JD ’12) spent the summer of 2010 working at the Constitutional Court of Kosovo, at the end of the Court’s first judicial year. On his return to HLS, he drew on the insights he gained in Kosovo in writing “The Risks of ‘Continuing Situation’ Litigation in Transitional Political Systems: Lessons from the ECtHR for the Constitutional Court of Kosovo,” a Note published this summer in the Harvard Human Rights Journal (Vol. 25).  You can read David’s Note here.

Looking back on the Chayes Program, David wrote “I am so grateful for the significant role it played in making my work possible.”  He is currently clerking for Judge Michael S. Kanne of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.
