SUMMARY:A Road Less Traveled: National Security Careers After Law School – Margaret Taylor
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, February 12\, the Reiss Center on Law and Security and the National Security Law Society hosted Margaret Taylor\, former Democratic Chief Counsel of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee\, for the second session of a series featuring national security law and policy practitioners.

She considered ways that lawmakers can influence the debate on foreign policy issues through hearings\, resolutions\, and other methods\, even without the pulpit of the presidency.

She highlighted the importance of approaching these challenges with confidence in one’s own expertise\, coupled with an honesty about areas in which one can learn and grow. Taylor explained that she allowed her desire to pursue work of genuine interest to guide her career decisions\, and she encouraged students to do the same\, and to embrace serendipity and be willing to take risks – wherever that might lead them. \nYou can follow her on Twitter @MargLTaylor. \n\nView the full speaker lineup for the Spring 2019 series

SUMMARY:U.S. Withdrawal from Syria and Afghanistan: Strategic and Legal Consequences

Some of the controversy was generated by the manner in which these consequential decisions were made\, while some was focused on the ramifications of potential redeployments for key U.S. policy goals. Drawing on their experience over many years at senior levels of government\, the speakers framed the strategic and legal consequences of potential U.S. troop withdrawals in Syria and Afghanistan\, and provided a basis for a wide-ranging discussion among attendees. The discussion was moderated by Michael Wahid Hanna. \nTess Bridgeman is a Senior Fellow and Visiting Scholar at the Reiss Center on Law and Security at NYU School of Law and Senior Editor at Just Security. She teaches national security law courses at Stanford University and Berkeley Law. Bridgeman served as Special Assistant to President Obama\, Associate Counsel to the President\, and Deputy Legal Adviser to the National Security Council (NSC)\, where she covered the full range of issues relating to the national security and foreign policy of the United States\, and previously served at the U.S. State Department in the Office of the Legal Adviser. \nJon Finer is a Non-Resident Advisor at the Reiss Center on Law and Security at NYU School of Law and adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. Previously\, he was the chief of staff and director of policy planning at the U.S. Department of State\, serving as Secretary John Kerry’s principal advisor and helping lead the Obama Administration’s key diplomatic initiatives\, including the Iran nuclear negotiations and the Paris climate accord. Finer served in the White House during the first term of the Obama Administration\, starting as a White House Fellow in the Office of the Chief of Staff and also working as Vice President Biden’s Middle East advisor and foreign policy speech writer\, as well as on the National Security Council Staff. \nNicholas Rasmussen is currently the Senior Director of Counterterrorism and National Security at the McCain Institute and Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Reiss Center on Law and Security at NYU School of Law. Rasmussen served as director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) from 2014-2017. Rasmussen held senior posts across three White House administrations\, serving in senior positions on the National Security Council (NSC) staff under Presidents Bush and Obama before being appointed Director of NCTC by President Obama and continuing his tenure at the request of President Trump’s administration in 2017. \nMichael Wahid Hanna is a Senior Fellow at The Century Foundation. He is also a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Reiss Center on Law and Security at NYU School of Law. Hanna works on issues of international security\, international law\, and U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and South Asia. \nThis dinner is part of a series of salon-style discussions hosted by the Reiss Center on Law and Security and The Century Foundation\, focusing on pressing national security issues of the day.

SUMMARY:Dr. Alexander Bick of Johns Hopkins SAIS speaks with NYU Law Students
DESCRIPTION:On January 30\, the Reiss Center on Law and Security and the National Security Law Society hosted Dr. Alexander Bick\, Research Scholar at the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at Johns Hopkins SAIS. Bick is the former Director for Syria at the National Security Council in the Obama Administration and a former member of the Secretary of State’s Policy Planning Staff. \nIn an illuminating discussion with NYU Law students\, Bick addressed the intersection of the law and national security in the case of Syria. He discussed the recent announcement by the Trump Administration of its plans to withdraw U.S. forces from Syria\, highlighting both the regional implications and the importance of a disciplined process in national security decision-making. Drawing on his wealth of experience\, he offered his insight on future implications for the Kurds\, Iran\, and the Islamic State; the potential for a U.S. withdrawal to exacerbate jockeying between Turkey and Russia; and likely challenges for resolving the war. \nBick\, who has a PhD in history\, spoke about his own experience working alongside government lawyers and senior policymakers with legal backgrounds. He emphasized that input from smart and rigorous lawyers can be extremely helpful in framing problems and is indispensable in policy discussions concerning government authorities or decisions regarding the use of force. At the same time\, he cautioned that other perspectives\, such as that provided by the study of history\, are critical to creating sound national security policy. \nYou can follow him on Twitter @Alexander_Bick

From PublicAffairs: “The inside story of how America’s enemies launched a cyber war against us-and how we’ve learned to fight back. With each passing year\, the internet-linked attacks on America’s interests have grown in both frequency and severity. Overmatched by our military\, countries like North Korea\, China\, Iran\, and Russia have found us vulnerable in cyberspace. The “Code War” is upon us. In this dramatic book\, former Assistant Attorney General John P. Carlin takes readers to the front lines of a global but little-understood fight as the Justice Department and the FBI chases down hackers\, online terrorist recruiters\, and spies. Today\, as our entire economy goes digital\, from banking to manufacturing to transportation\, the potential targets for our enemies multiply. This firsthand account is both a remarkable untold story and a warning of dangers yet to come.” \nBios \nJohn P. Carlin \n \nJohn P.

A question and answer session will follow. \n\n1.5 hours of CLE credit (both transitional and non-transitional) will be available in the Areas of Professional Practice category. This event is appropriate for both newly admitted and experienced attorneys. Reading materials and full bios of the speakers can be found below. \n\nOverview \nJeffrey Toobin will moderate a discussion with Harold Koh about his latest book\, The Trump Administration and International Law. From Oxford University Press: “Will Donald trump international law? Since Trump’s Administration took office\, this question has haunted almost every issue area of international law. One of our leading international lawyers-a former Legal Adviser of the US State Department\, Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights\, and Yale Law Dean-argues that President Trump has thus far enjoyed less success than many believe\, because he does not own the pervasive “transnational legal process” that governs these issue areas. This book shows how those opposing Trump’s policies during his administration’s first two years have successfully triggered that process as part of a collective counter-strategy akin to Muhammad Ali’s “rope-a-dope.” The book surveys immigration and refugee law\, human rights\, climate change\, denuclearization\, trade diplomacy\, relations with North Korea\, Russia and Ukraine\, America’s “Forever War” against Al Qaeda and the Islamic State\, and the ongoing tragedy in Syria. Koh’s tour d’horizon illustrates the many techniques that players in the transnational legal process have used to blunt Trump’s early initiatives. The high stakes of this struggle\, and its broader implications for the future of global governance—now challenged by the rise of populist authoritarians-make this exhausting counter-strategy both worthwhile and necessary.” \nBios \nHarold Hongju Koh \n \nHarold Hongju Koh is Sterling Professor of International Law at Yale Law School. He returned to Yale Law School in January 2013 after serving for nearly four years as the 22nd Legal Adviser of the U.S. Department of State. \nProfessor Koh is one of the country’s leading experts in public and private international law\, national security law\, and human rights.

SUMMARY:Former Director of National Counterterrorism Center Nick Rasmussen Meets with NYU Law Students
DESCRIPTION:CLS Non-Resident Senior Fellow Nicholas Rasmussen met with student members of the law school’s National Security Law Society (NSLS) on October 2nd to discuss counterterrorism policy and reflect on his 27-year career in government across multiple Administrations. Rasmussen\, who is currently Senior Director of Counterterrorism and National Security at the McCain Institute\, most recently served in government as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) from 2014-2017 after key posts at the State Department and National Security Council under the Obama and Bush Administrations. \nIn a wide-ranging conversation with the students\, Rasmussen offered his insights on the challenges of counterterrorism in the digital age\, spoke about the importance of a whole-of-government approach for effective counterterrorism policy\, and discussed gaps in engagement with local communities in countering violent extremism efforts. Mr. Rasmussen also discussed the central role of lawyers in shaping national security policy\, saying that they “were some of the colleagues I admired most throughout my career” and that for him\, “the opportunity to draw bright legal minds into the national security profession is a high priority.”

SUMMARY:From 9/11 to a New Normal? Building Resilience to Terrorism and Extremism in American Cities
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 12\, 2018 | 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM \nNYU School of Law \nGreenberg Lounge | Vanderbilt Hall \n40 Washington Square South \nTo RSVP\, please click here. \n \n  \nSince 9/11\, the threat of a major\, externally-organized attack on the American homeland has greatly diminished. But law enforcement has a new national security threat to contend with: self-directed attacks committed by individuals who have radicalized at home\, such as the Boston Marathon bombings\, Orlando nightclub shooting\, and West Side Highway car attack. In this new era of terrorism\, officials warn that small-scale terrorist attacks might be simply inevitable—and community and city leaders should be renewing their focus on building resilience so that they are ready when tragedy strikes. This panel convenes law enforcement and national security experts to discuss lessons from previous terror attacks and how cities can be better prepared for the security threats of today. \nFeaturing: \n\nMark Kleiman\, Professor of Public Policy at the NYU Marron Institute of Urban Management\nNick Lewin\, Founding Partner of Krieger Kim & Lewin LLP and Former Deputy Chief of Criminal Division for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York\nAnne Milgram\, Professor of Practice at NYU Law and Former Attorney General of New Jersey\nLisa Monaco\, Former Homeland Security Adviser to President Barack Obama and current Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Center on Law and Security\n\nCoffee and refreshments will be served. \nTo RSVP\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Today's Threat Landscape and Strategies for the Future: A Conversation with Former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Nick Rasmussen
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, Thursday 15\, 2017  |  6:30 p.m.\nLipton Hall\n108 West Third Street  \nPlease find the event video below: \n\n \n  \nOn February 15\, join us for the kick-off event of the new CLS series\, Building Resilience for Today’s Security Threats. The evening will feature Nick Rasmussen—who retired in December after three years serving as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center—in conversation with Lisa Monaco\, former Homeland Security Adviser to President Barack Obama. The two former high-level government officials will discuss their perspectives on the shifting terrorism threat and what lessons in resilience communities can glean from the way federal and local government have responded to previous terrorist attacks. \nMore than a decade and a half after 9/11\, the disrupted world order has caused national security threats to significantly evolve. Terrorists have exploited chaotic pockets of the world to carve out safe havens\, the rise of technology has created a new landscape of potential attacks\, and globalization and climate change have contributed to the intensified threat of infectious disease outbreaks. In the face of these changing threats\, governments and communities are no longer just grappling the question of how to prevent crises\, but what to do when one inevitably occurs. Over the course of the year\, the Center on Law and Security will convene a series of events and discussions that explore this evolving threat landscape and avenues for resilience-building through the themes of terrorism\, cybersecurity\, and pandemics. Please stay tuned for future events! \nTo RSVP please click here.

SUMMARY:Counterterrorism and the Law: The Shifting Strategic Territory
DESCRIPTION:The video of this event is available\, click here to watch. \nIn a range of areas critical to the most pressing security threats–counterterrorism\, surveillance\, and immigration among them–legal and policy frameworks have long depended on sharp distinctions between citizens and non-citizens.  Human rights norms are increasingly working their way into the governance of national security and casting into doubt once-stable frameworks.  This panel will explore how the law shaping security operations is changing and what the future of armed conflict may look like. \nWe are pleased to offer up to 1.5 credits of CLE in the Areas of Professional Practice at this event. \nSpeakers will include: \n\nDorit Beinisch\, President\, Supreme Court of Israel (ret.); Distinguished Jurist in Residence at NYU School of Law\nRyan Goodman\, Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Professor of Law\, NYU School of Law\nJeremy Waldron\, University Professor\, NYU School of Law\n\nDownload CLE readings here. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Terrorists' Use of Social Media: The Legal and Policy Landscape
DESCRIPTION:To watch the video recording of the event please click here. \nThere is presently significant uncertainty in the legal regime governing circumstances in which platform providers can be compelled to take down content\, or in which they can be held civilly liable for their failure to do so. While the general legal landscape is thick\, the precise application to content hosted on social media platforms is not clear. Some of the specific questions this panel will consider include: \n\nCan platform providers be held civilly liable for hosting terrorist-linked content on their services?\nCan the government use the same software that commercial advertising firms use to follow the behavior of potential ISIS recruits as they consume material available on public platforms like YouTube and Twitter?\nWhat should social media companies do with regard to terrorist-linked content\, and to what incentives to they respond when considering these questions?\n\nWe are pleased to offer up to 1.5 credits of CLE in the Areas of Professional Practice at this event. \nSpeakers will include: \n\nRaj De\, Partner\, Mayer Brown; Distinguished Fellow\, Center on Law and Security\nDavid Fidler\, Adjunct Senior Fellow for Cybersecurity\, Council on Foreign Relations; James Louis Calamaras Professor of Law\, Maurer School of Law\, Indiana University\nHugh Handeyside\, Staff Attorney\, National Security Project\, American Civil Liberties Union\nMonroe Price\, Full Adjunct Professor\, Annenberg School for Communication\, University of Pennsylvania\nModerator: Zachary Goldman\, Executive Director\, Center on Law and Security\, and Adjunct Professor of Law\, NYU School of Law\n\nDownload CLE reading here.
