SUMMARY:Webinar: Women in the Judiciary - Working Toward Gender Equality in Public Life
DESCRIPTION:FBA’s Official Parallel Program at the NGO CSW67 Forum during the UN’s 67th Meeting of the Commission on the Status of Women \nThis event demonstrates the role that women play in the judiciary and how gender equality strengthens accountability across and within governmental bodies.

The program will highlight recent public-private initiatives to pair former law clerks with law students\, including international LLM law students\, in a model judicial academy program in the service of improving gender equality in public employment\, and explore how such programs strengthen both domestic and international co-operation through continuously sharing knowledge\, lessons learned and good practices on gender equality and mainstreaming initiatives in public institutions. \nRegistration is Closed \n\nPresenters\nIntroduction – Mimi Tsankov\, President\, National Association of Immigration Judges \nMimi Tsankov is the President of the National Association of Immigration Judges.

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Use of International Law in Domestic Courts and International Tribunals
DESCRIPTION:Robert “Bob” Pauw\, a partner with Gibbs Houston Pauw in Seattle\, Washington\, will focus on the use of international law in U.S. domestic courts and at the Inter American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR). Mr. Pauw will discuss exhaustion of domestic remedies\, the procedure for bringing claims to the IACHR\, and the enforceability of decisions issued by international tribunals. Although under the Constitution international law is part of “the supreme Law of the Land\,” courts and agencies may be reluctant to follow requirements of international law. Often international law is not directly enforceable in United States courts and it can be difficult to convince courts and agencies to follow international law norms. Mr. Pauw will discuss how\, in spite of these difficulties\, international law may be useful for purposes of constitutional and statutory interpretation\, and ways to facilitate consideration of international law by courts and agencies. The IACHR cases which will be discussed involve removal proceedings under U.S. immigration law. \nPresented by the International Law Section\nCo-Sponsored by the Immigration Law Section \nRegistration for this event is now closed. \n\nAbout the Presenters\nRobert “Bob” Pauw\, Founding Partner\, Gibbs Houston Pauw \nRobert Pauw is a founding partner of Gibbs Houston Pauw.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Holocaust and the Rule of Law
DESCRIPTION:Michael Taylor participated in the French Resistance and the Polish Refugee Resistance during World War II. He will speak about how the Holocaust came about within the rule of law as well as his role as a French Resistance and Polish Refugee Resistance fighter.    \nPresented by the International Law Section and Senior Lawyers Division  \nRegistration for this event is now closed. \n\nAbout the Presenters:\nMichael Taylor\, WWII Veteran\, French Resistance and Polish Refugee Resistance Fighter  \nMichael fought in the Polish Refugee Army\, French Resistance\, American\, and French World War II armies. After the Allies liberated France\, he visited Patton’s Rainbow Brigade\, which liberated Dachau and Buchenwald in Germany. Following the war\, he acquired four very rare legal certificates to take his three surviving sisters\, all under the age of 12\, with him to lead new lives in Palestine on a ship of 1000 refugees\, including Dr Ruth. Michael’s sisters had survived separately in Vichy\, France thanks in part to being hidden in a Catholic grade school\, aided by future Mime Marcel Marceau. \nUpon arriving in Israel\, Michael joined the elite Givati Reprisal Brigade. As a trained machine gunner\, he helped Israel attain independence. This took 9 months\, and 10 percent of Jews were killed. The Tzeuchneider (pron. Tuchschneider) family had all their property stolen from Belgium except rare photos\, which are included in today’s power point presentation\, along with family and archival military photos. \nMichael met his wife\, Rita\, when she came as tourist in 1952 to his Tel Aviv Main Street magazine store. They married after one month and communicated in Yiddish. Rita’s family members were socialist refugees from Tsarist Russia who had fled the 1905 pogrom. Michael’s family had fled similar murderous pogroms in Warsaw in 1924 and traveled across Europe\, spending ten peaceful years as religious Jews in Brussels. \nAlthough married and an American veteran\, Michael was not issued a visa during the Cold War to join his wife until he translated his Polish name Tzeuchneider to Taylor at the advice of Rita’s cousin working at the State Department. \nMichael now tells his story through lectures and webinars with his son\, Shannon. \nShannon Taylor\, Son to Michael Taylor \nShannon was born in 1955. He graduated Tufts University magna cum laude in 1976. He has practiced law since graduating Temple Law with Hebrew University Law in 1979. Shannon was a civil and criminal trial lawyer in New York City and Hackensack. \nHe is published\, has lectured for over thirty-five years\, and led a decade of 92nd Street Y tours at most of NYC’s private university and entertainment clubs. He is an award-winning photojournalist\, solarian\, percussionist and mineralogist. \nShannon has hosted a weekly prime time TV interview and commentary with his father called “The Conversation” for the past ten years. FBA Senior Lawyer Section Chair Steven Miller and many distinguished jurists\, refugees\, emigres\, entertainers\, authors\, political figures\, and scholars have all been guests. \n\nRegistration\nRegistration for this event is now closed. \nRegistration Fees \n\nFBA Member: $0\nAmerican Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists: $10\nNonmember: $75\n\nLive Captioning\nShould you request live captioning or another accommodation in order to participate in this webinar\, please contact meetings@fedbar.org at least 10 days before the event so we may make the necessary arrangements. \nCancellation Policy\nNo refunds will be made for cancellations received after the close of business on November 19\, 2020.
