If you have any questions with which you believe I could help please don't hesitate to ask. If I don't know the answer I can send it out to my friends for help. Thanks for answering. - Chris

P.S. I'll pass on your question about the Conference. I'm in mid semester at school and can't take the time off to go myself, but maybe someone else on my friends list will be there.

It seems we share some common interests so I wanted to make my introduction. I'm Chris from New Orleans. I'm studying Comparative legal systems at Tulane Law School and am very interested in Human Rights and Mediation and Negotiation. Given our common interests it would be good to start communication so we can refer to each other for advice in the future. Please take a minute to view my page and leave a message if you like.

peace.
