The Hague Convention Project

The Access to Justice Institute began the Hague Convention Project in 2004. Through this project, law students helped to organize a Continuing Legal Education on the Hague Convention which brought lawyers, judges, students and faculty members together to learn about and discuss the Hague Convention and its impact on survivors of domestic violence. Also through this project, law students assisted with drafting a chapter on the Hague Convention in the Washington Domestic Violence Manual for Judges which can be accessed at online.

The Access to Justice Institute no longer runs the Hague Convention Project. Resources previously hosted online by ATJI can now be found at the Hague Domestic Violence Project, a collaboration between the University of Washington and University of Minnesota.

For referrals and/or consultation on a case involving the Hague Convention and domestic violence, you can contact Sara Ainsworth, Senior Legal and Legislative Counsel at Northwest Women’s Law Center, at sains@nwwlc.org.
