    We tend to operate under the misconception that child marriage is something that happens ¿over there,¿ not in the United States. Don¿t miss this symposium as we take a comprehensive look at child marriage internationally and nationally, including how child marriage intersects various areas of law. Family law attorneys, immigration lawyers, child law practitioners, human rights counsel - and others interested in gaining knowledge on this important topic - who attend this seminar will better understand:
    ¿ How child marriage impacts those involved;
    ¿ The connection between child marriage, human trafficking,
    and immigration;
    ¿ The factors influencing child marriage internationally and
    nationally;
    ¿ Legislative initiatives to end child marriage;
    ¿ How attorneys and judges can help shape the law and the
    culture surrounding this aspect of our society; and
    ¿ Much more.
