With Gratitude and Souvenirs

After weeks of flying between time zones and being convinced that goose bumps will become a permanent part of my physiological state if I continue this line of advocacy, I am back home in D.C. with two very important things: gratitude and souvenirs.

My profound gratitude for all of you who asked questions and shared your comments through my Contact page after my first Berlin posting. Your honesty, articulate curiosity, and general well wishes added a rich substantive depth and moral character to the entire trip. And as for the souvenirs, I humbly offer you airline napkins, notepads from tables in Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz coffee shops, and random receipts for chocolates, all scribbled with notes and bullet points for my next posting…bear with me as I put them all together along with speech snippets, pictures, and answers to your questions in an attempt to capture an indescribably inspirational ICC Conference in the equally indescribable and inspirational city of Berlin—now officially the second home of international justice. Much more, very soon!
