Her pro bono work includes successfully representing Ms. Montoya Alvarez before the U.S. Supreme Court in an international custody dispute that made new law regarding application of equitable tolling to treaties in general and in particular to the “now settled” defense to a child's return to her home country under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction.
