9/11@20 Part 2

The 9/11 terrorist attacks twenty years ago launched a revolution in every aspect of our national security apparatus.  Whether through the enactment of new laws or the reinterpretations of existing authorities, the United States radically changed its posture to address this new challenge posed by those who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the 9/11 attacks, and those who harbored them.  This two-day virtual seminar will attempt to evaluate the successes and failures in that effort, and the efforts still required to keep our nation safe while protecting our liberties.

The View from 30,000 Feet: A Survey of National Security Law

Date: February 10, 2019

Whether involving separation of powers, drone strikes, Guantanamo, FISA warrants, or the International Criminal Court, national security law is an extremely complex and evolving area of law.

This full-day seminar introduces this topic from various perspectives, including the U.S. and legal architecture surrounding principles of self-defense, the laws of armed conflict, law enforcement approaches, intelligence collection, detention issues, war crimes tribunals, and cybersecurity.  As the inaugural program of the Center for National Security and Human Rights Law, this seminar sets the stage for future programming in this increasingly relevant field, including lectures, classes, and scholarship.
