National Security and The Law

This course will examine domestic and international law in relation to United States intelligence and national security objectives in the context of the post-9/11 period.  It will survey domestic counter-terrorism law, immigration law, and international humanitarian law (the law of armed conflict).  Special emphasis will be placed on the relationship between international and domestic laws, and the balance between national security and civil liberties.
