Newark, NJ – Seton Hall University School of Law, along with the New Jersey Supreme Court Committee on Women in the Courts and The National Association of Women Judges, District 3, will host an International Law Judges Forum at Seton Hall Law on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Judges from around the world will attend the forum, featuring a panel of four judges from the highest courts in Nepal, Taiwan, Ukraine and Korea.

Kristen Boon, associate professor of law at Seton Hall Law, who will serve as moderator, explained that the forum will offer law students, practicing attorneys, judges and others insight into the intricacies of other legal systems. The session also will address the process of becoming a judge.

“Early in their careers, many of today’s lawyers are finding that they have to handle cases or deals that cross legal borders, “said Boon. “As part of a comprehensive legal education, law students need to be exposed to and provided with a knowledge of judicial systems beyond our own borders.”

The forum will take place from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. in the Seton Hall Law School auditorium. A reception will follow. The session is open to the public, but reservations are strongly encouraged.

Register online or contact Cindy Wilson at 973-642-8707.
