Turkiye seviyorum!

I love Turkey! And in 72 hours, I'll be on my way there with my husband, children (both Millennials), and a delegation of American law professors who will teach Turkish lawyers and judges a little about common law analysis. Turkish is a civil law country that has applied to accede to the European Union. This means that their lawyers would need some experience with common law analysis to be able to practice within the European Union courts, which employ common law.

I'll be there for two weeks. This means one of two things: (1) The blog is on hiatus for two weeks; or (2) The blog's topic will be turning to all things Turkish for two weeks. You never know which one it will be, because tomorrow I turn 40. I've waited a long time to be 40, because I've noticed that 40 seems to be the age where you start doing just about whatever you damn well please. It's a small price to pay for crow's feet and the occasional show-stopping twinge in my back.
