Georgetown University Law Center and Harvard Law School Present: The Mukasey Hearings Revisited
The confirmation hearings for Attorney General Michael Mukasey raised numerous legal and constitutional issues relating to the interplay of national security, civil liberties, and the separation of powers. The positions of the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and of the then-nominated, now-confirmed, Attorney General present a rich variety of views of the Constitution, the balance of powers among the three Branches of government, and the pressures on both in a time of international conflict.
This Thursday at 12:00 p.m., a panel of experts in both Cambridge and Washington will analyze these positions and consider whether and what the views of the new Attorney General will add to the legal mix.
The event will consist of a live videoconference hosted from 12 - 1:30 on both the Georgetown and Harvard campuses, with the Berkman Center playing host in Cambridge and Gewirz, 12th Floor serving as the meeting location in Washington, DC.
Sponsors include: the Center on National Security & the Law at Georgetown University; Heyman Fellows Program, Office of Public Interest Advising, Harvard Law School; and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society. Check out the event website for more information.
