LAW 7334 - Perspective on Counter Terrorism
Credits: 3
Takes an insistently interdisciplinary and occasionally comparative approach to explore legal issues in America’s war on terror, including but not limited to following: Acts of terrorism committed against the state by non-state actors are not new, but from a lawyer’s point of view, what is new about the states repertoire of responses to them? What are the constants and what are the variables that influence a state’s recognition, definition, and reaction to real or perceived threats to the state’s core responsibility for domestic security? By what standards should state action be assessed? What role should law and lawyers play during such extraordinary times? Readings are drawn from familiar legal sources and from works of history, the social sciences, and literature.
