SUMMARY:A Former President Indicted: The Special Counsel and the Road Ahead
DESCRIPTION:[youtube id=”bR_DJrM_Qls” width=”600″ height=”350″ autoplay=”no” api_params=”” class=””] \n  \n \nFormer President Donald Trump has been indicted by a grand jury in Miami. Since the country learned last August of an FBI search of the former president’s residence at Mar-a-Lago for documents marked as classified\, details have steadily emerged about the volume of documents there\, who had access to them\, and alleged efforts to conceal them. Now the investigation has culminated in an unprecedented step: the first federal indictment of a former president. The special counsel’s prosecution moves forward against a backdrop of other criminal and civil proceedings against the former president\, including around his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election\, even as he is a presidential candidate for the 2024 election. \nThis was an NYU Forum discussion—led by Reiss Center on Law and Security Faculty Co-Director Ryan Goodman—of the legal\, policy\, and national security issues at play in this critical moment. \nThis event has been approved for one New York State CLE credit in the category of Areas of Professional Practice. The credit is both transitional and non-transitional; it is appropriate for both experienced and newly admitted attorneys.

Ukrainian forces have proven remarkably strong\, and the Ukrainian people have demonstrated utter determination against a Russian leadership and military that have drastically underperformed. Meanwhile\, the United States has honed its own response to Russia’s illegal invasion\, which includes assembling an alliance to support Ukraine\, billions in humanitarian aid and weapons\, massive sanctions against Russian entities\, and new laws to prosecute those who commit grave crimes in Ukraine through U.S. courts. \n\n\n\nOn the occasion of this somber anniversary\, the Reiss Center teamed up with The Just Security Podcast to reunite a group of experts to discuss how the United States has responded to the conflict and what comes next. These legal and diplomatic all-stars first came together in the panel discussion we convened on the day Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.

SUMMARY:Investigating Mar-a-Lago
DESCRIPTION:[youtube id=”w8afCO7TbQo” width=”600″ height=”350″ autoplay=”no” api_params=”” class=””] \n  \n \nThe U.S. Department of Justice’s unprecedented investigation continues into the documents found at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida\, raising many intertwined domestic law and national security concerns. \nWhat is the likely trajectory of the criminal investigation? How might the Mar-a-Lago proceedings be sequenced with the separate and ongoing investigations and prosecutions around the events of January 6? How do the interests of the intelligence community figure into whether and how to bring criminal charges in such cases? How should we assess the performance of the Justice Department and intelligence community to date? What is essential to understand—and what are common misconceptions about—the Espionage Act\, the rules governing (de)classification\, executive privilege\, and the Presidential Records Act? \nAt this Forum\, experts with backgrounds in law\, journalism\, intelligence\, and senior government service will explore the state of play in the case and analyze the bigger picture. This event is co-hosted by the Reiss Center on Law and Security and the NYU Law Forum. \nThis event has been approved for one New York State CLE credit in the category of Areas of Professional Practice.

SUMMARY:The Origins of the Sicilian Mafia: What We Know and What We Still Cannot Explain
DESCRIPTION:The origin of the Sicilian mafia has been attributed to the demand of property rights enforcement in the markets of land\, sulfur\, citrus fruits and labor conflicts in 19th century Sicily.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Insanity Defense  Congresswoman Jane Harman in Conversation with Andrew Weissmann
DESCRIPTION:  \n[youtube id=”VWgU5C6ZHWE” width=”600″ height=”350″ autoplay=”no” api_params=”” class=””] \n  \n \n  \nWednesday\, June 9\, 2021\n12:30-1:30 p.m.\nVirtual Event \n  \nThe Reiss Center on Law and Security held a virtual lunchtime discussion with Congresswoman Jane Harman\, former CEO of the Wilson Center and former ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee\, in conversation with Andrew Weissmann\, Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Reiss Center and former Senior Prosecutor for Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III. They discussed Harman’s new book\, Insanity Defense: Why Our Failure to Confront Hard National Security Problems Makes Us Less Safe. This event is co-hosted by NYU Washington\, DC. \nBook Overview from St. Martin’s Press\nInsanity can be defined as doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result. As a nation\, America has cycled through the same defense and intelligence issues since the end of the Cold War. In Insanity Defense\, Congresswoman Jane Harman chronicles how four administrations have failed to confront some of the toughest national security policy issues and suggests achievable fixes that can move us toward a safer future. \nInsanity Defense shows why our policy inadequacies are varied and complex\, in some cases going back generations. American leaders didn’t realize soon enough that the institutions and habits formed during the Cold War were no longer effective in an increasingly multi-power world transformed by digital technology and riven by ethno-sectarian conflict. Nations freed from the fear of the Soviets no longer deferred to America as before. Yet the United States settled into a comfortable\, at times arrogant\, position as the lone superpower. At the same time our governing institutions\, which had stayed resilient\, however imperfectly\, through multiple crises\, began their own unraveling. \nCongresswoman Harman was there—as witness\, legislator\, exhorter\, enabler\, dissident and\, eventually\, outside advisor and commentator. Insanity Defense is an insider’s account of decades of American national security—of its failures and omissions—and a roadmap to making significant progress on solving these perennially difficult issues. \n  \nThis event was approved for 1.0 New York State CLE credit in the category of Areas of Professional Practice. The credit is both transitional and non-transitional; it is appropriate for both experienced and newly admitted attorneys. CLE Readings \nSpeaker Bios\nCongresswoman Jane Harman \n\n\n\n\nDuring her long public career\, ​Jane Harman served nine terms in Congress\, including four years after 9/11 as ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee\, and recently completed a decade at the nonpartisan Wilson Center as its first female president and CEO. Harman is recognized as a national expert at the nexus of security and public policy issues\, and has received numerous awards for distinguished service. She has served on advisory boards for the CIA\, Director of National Intelligence\, and the departments of Defense\, Homeland Security\, and State. Harman is currently a member of the Aspen Strategy Group and the advisory board of the Munich Security Conference and co-chairs the Homeland Security Experts Group with former Homeland Security secretary Michael Chertoff. \n  \nAndrew Weissmann \nAndrew Weissmann is a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Reiss Center on Law and Security and the Center on the Administration of Criminal Law and a Professor of Practice at NYU School of Law.

SUMMARY:The SolarWinds Breach: What Happened and Where Do We Go From Here?
DESCRIPTION:  \n[youtube id=”scElLnIwPRE” width=”600″ height=”350″ autoplay=”no” api_params=”” class=””] \n  \nIn early 2020\, the company SolarWinds suffered a massive cybersecurity breach of its software that went undetected for many months and had the effect of compromising a number of U.S. government agencies in addition to many private sector companies. Our understanding of the scale and scope of the attack is still unfolding\, and the breach will constitute an early challenge for the Biden Administration. As more information comes out about the breadth of the hack—widely suspected to be the product of a foreign espionage campaign—and its impact on both the U.S. government and the private sector\, our panelists will address what happened\, who has responsibility\, what is the legal landscape\, and what can be done to address the breach. \nThis event was approved for 1.0 New York State CLE credit in the category of Areas of Professional Practice.
