The Fourth Annual National Security Law Workshop (this week at the JAG School)
I'm pleased to report that the Fourth Annual National Security Law Workshop is shaping up to be the best one yet. Geoff Corn and I started this event several years ago, in partnership with the ICRC and the US Army JAG School, with an event at Wake Forest. The past two years we’ve had it in Austin, and now this year’s event will take place at the JAG School in Charlottesville. As you’ll see from the agenda below, we’ve got a great lineup of papers, speakers, presentations, and discussions. All of our space is now booked up, unfortunately, but please keep the event in mind for next year! P

I'm pleased to report that the Fourth Annual National Security Law Workshop is shaping up to be the best one yet. Geoff Corn and I started this event several years ago, in partnership with the ICRC and the US Army JAG School, with an event at Wake Forest. The past two years we’ve had it in Austin, and now this year’s event will take place at the JAG School in Charlottesville. As you’ll see from the agenda below, we’ve got a great lineup of papers, speakers, presentations, and discussions.
