World Congress on Family Law and Children’s Rights4 - 7 June 2017 Dublin

It is an enormous pleasure to welcome you to the World Congress on Family Law and Children’s rights be held in Dublin, Ireland

in 2017. The area of family law and children’s rights remain exciting, challenging and fast moving areas of legal scholarship

and practice and the Congress has established itself as the leading international forum for discussion and deliberation on

these issues. International co-operation and communication enable us to advance our shared understanding of the many

complex issues involved here and we look forward to Dublin in 2017 providing an unrivalled environment for the Congress

to advance these goals.

A successful World Congress needs a dynamic local organising committee and the Board of the World Congress is proud to

have partnered with the School of Law at the University of Cork (UCC) as the core local organising committee. UCC School

of Law is a leading venue for education and scholarship on family law and children’s rights with many academics, researchers

and graduate students in these areas. On the website you will find all the information you need about the Congress

including information about the programme, as it develops, and practical information about Dublin and Ireland. We will be

introducing a number of new innovations to the Congress in 2017 – seeking to enhance the participation of children and

young people and family law and children’s rights scholars – and we will update the website as these developments emerge.

We hope you will join us in Dublin for what promises to be an important, challenging and collaborative event.
