An unusual request to ACP members
Roisin O’Shea write this letter to Tony Flannery, of the ACP Leadership Team:
I need your support.
My proposal for an EU Community Family Justice model, that was an outcome of my international family law workshop in March at W.I.T., has been nominated for an Innovating Justice award by the Hague Institute [Scroll down to see the email below]. The organisers ask that I send their email to my network, family and friends to vote. The three proposals that secure the greatest amount of votes go on to be considered by a closed jury. My proposal is for an overarching family justice model, that puts mediation centre stage, to be used in the same way by all Member States, the research centre would be based at W.I.T. if we can get the funding. The first part of the voting process, which is worldwide, is essentially a public vote, so I need every vote I can get!
Voting is now open and ends on October 8th. Voting has now been simplified, go to

Sounds like a very worthwhile project and Roisin O’Shea has clearly achieved a lot in this area already.
Voting is straightforward, though possibly a little bewildering at first and you may need to use a Gmail account.
Attempt to vote. You will be asked to register. Do that. Log in. Vote for real.
Would you consider putting the “Submit Comment” button below the Captcha code. I don’t know how many times I’ve hit the button not having seen the code and when you backpage your original text is gone.
Just a thought in the interest of continued serenity.
