NYU School of Law
Faculty Library at NYU
3rd Floor of Vanderbilt Hall
40 Washington Square South
New York, NY 10012

Join U.S. District Judge for the Northern District of Illinois, Virginia M. Kendall and Perkins Coie partner, T. Markus Funk at New York University School of Law as they share insights from the updated and expanded second edition of their highly-acclaimed (and just-published book), “Child Exploitation and Trafficking: Examining Global Enforcement and Supply Chain Challenges and U.S. Responses.” U.S. District Judge Pamela K. Chen (EDNY) is hosting the discussion at the NYU School of Law.

"A milestone on the road to improved policy in this difficult and important area [and] an invaluable resource." U.S. Circuit Judge Richard A. Posner in response to the book's first release.

“[A] one-stop source on the subject.” Chicago Sun-Times

During this book launch discussion, Mr. Funk and Judge Kendall will in particular discuss:

• New laws and regulations related to human trafficking and supply chain compliance – today’s #1 emerging compliance "hot topic" for companies and organizations.
• The history and present-day realities of trafficked, slave, indentured, child and other forms of forced labor in domestic and transnational business supply chains.
• Bribery (potentially implicating instruments such as the FCPA and UK Bribery Act) as an integral part of coordinated exploitation.
• U.S. and global legislative and enforcement efforts to combat these scourges.

We look forward to having you join us for the discussion and networking reception.
