IRISH FAMINE TRIBUNAL (Canceled)

Even to this day, the Irish Famine (also known as the Great Hunger), remains one of the most lethal famines in modern history in terms of deaths and dislocation of population.

On October 20, 2012, a Famine Tribunal will be held at Fordham Law School, New York City.  The object of the Tribunal is to assess the impact of the Irish Famine on the Irish population, and to examine its political, economic, cultural and physiological legacies, all within a legal framework.
