The Buzz


“Eric’s motivation and passion for international human rights is truly inspirational.  Eric's amazing life experiences and his stories about his international peacemaking work act as a wake up call for any law student who has forgotten why she wanted to become a lawyer in the first place.” 

     

               Jane N. Villanova Law Student






















“Fascinating to think about new perspectives on creating peace....” 

       

“Informative and interesting.”


“Extremely eye-opening,”


           Philadelphia Law Students





















"Eric's presentation showed us that you don't need to work for a big International NGO to make an impact on international human rights.  Eric's work toward peace in South Africa and Korea provides an inspiring example to law students." 

     

            L.E.   UCLA Law Student


“We were thrilled to have you and a lot of interest was generated. It's hard to find lawyers as motivated, inspirational and original as you!”

      

            L.T.  Temple Law Student


“Highest Recommendation! Mr. Sirotkin shared his story, especially about his work with reconciliation.  His knowledge and personal experience brought our studies to life.  Eric was very professional, yet able to address questions with age-appropriate responses.  The class period seemed to go way too quickly. I and my students were very impressed.”
