As I write this, I have recently returned from attending the International Association of Women Judges (IAWJ) Biennial Conference in Marrakech, Morocco. There were 1200 women judges representing 72 countries in attendance. It was a pageantry of colors, smiling faces, and sounds from around the world. From my observation, the United States had the third large contingent, 75 Judges, behind Argentina and Mexico. The conference brought home for me that though we are worlds apart from each other, there is more that unites us than separates us. Yet, I cannot help but think how fortunate we are as women judges in the United States, after hearing from and talking with so many judges from around the world. The IAWJ Biennial Conference Committee and Staff did a phenomenal job organizing the Conference and coordinating all events. Thank you to the IAWJ all of them.
