Upcoming summits to fight violence and promote marriage are being sponsored, respectively, by a New York-based law school and a commission of the Georgia Supreme Court.
A story on the pro-marriage summit in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Political Insider blog is headlined, “The Georgia Supreme Court goes Oprah on us—and wants to talk relationships.”
A press release says topics to be addressed “range from helping marriages survive in our debt culture to turning around the crisis in the culture of African-American marriage.” The summit, which begins on Wednesday, is being co-hosted by the court’s Commission on Children, Marriage and Family Law.
Meanwhile Columbia Law School is participating in a summit along with online giants such as Facebook, Google and YouTube to find ways to use digital media to fight violence and oppression, according to a press release. The summit will be held at the law school in December.
The gathering was inspired by a Facebook group that inspired protests against the Colombian terrorist group FARC, the press release says.
