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.

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.

Raja Krishnamoorthi\nCongressman Raja Krishnamoorthi was elected in November 2016 to represent the 8th District of Illinois\, which includes the west and northwest suburbs of Chicago. Raja serves on the Oversight Committee\, for which he is also the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy\, as well as on the House Intelligence Committee. In addition to this committee work\, Raja was selected as an Assistant Whip and serves on the Steering and Policy Committee. \nRaja’s policy platform focuses on growing and strengthening the middle class by supporting small businesses\, rebuilding our infrastructure\, and protecting Social Security and Medicare.  Raja knows our economy works best when it works for all of us\, and that’s why he’s fighting to make college more affordable\, expand access to paid sick and parental leave\, and guarantee equal pay for equal work. \nRaja is the child of immigrants and was reared in Peoria\, Illinois.  He attended public schools in Peoria and was a valedictorian of his high school class.  Scholarships and student loans allowed Raja to graduate summa cum laude from Princeton University with a degree in mechanical engineering and a certificate from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy.  He then graduated with honors from Harvard Law School and clerked for a federal judge before practicing law in Chicago. \nRaja pursued public service while practicing law and was appointed by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan as a Special Assistant Attorney General to help start the state’s Public Integrity Unit created to root out corruption in Illinois.  As a member of the Illinois Housing Development Authority\, Raja chaired its Audit Committee\, helping to provide thousands of low and moderate-income families across the state with affordable housing.  Raja also served as Illinois Deputy Treasurer.  There\, he oversaw the state’s technology venture capital fund and helped revamp programs such as the state’s unclaimed property program to become leaner and more efficient. \nAfter his time in the Illinois Treasurer’s Office\, Raja returned to the private sector\, serving as president of research-oriented small businesses developing technology in the national security and renewable energy industries.  Raja also served as the Vice-Chair of the Illinois Innovation Council and co-founded InSPIRE\, a non-profit that provides inner-city students and veterans with training in solar technology. \nRaja and his wife\, Priya\, a physician\, live in Schaumburg with their two sons and baby daughter. \nSen. Mike Lee\nElected in 2010 as Utah’s 16th Senator\, Mike Lee has spent his career defending the basic liberties of Americans and Utahns as a tireless advocate for our founding constitutional principles. \nSenator Lee acquired a deep respect for the Constitution early on. His father\, Rex Lee\, who served as the Solicitor General under President Ronald Reagan\, would often discuss varied aspects of judicial and constitutional doctrine around the kitchen table\, from Due Process to the uses of Executive Plenary Power.

Rezaian recounts his journey in his new book\, Prisoner: My 544 Days in an Iranian Prison. \nRezaian was joined in conversation by RCLS Distinguished Senior Fellow Lisa Monaco\, who served in the White House as Homeland Security Advisor to President Obama at the time of Rezaian’s detention and the efforts to secure his release. \n1.5 credits of CLE in the Areas of Professional Practice category (transitional and non-transitional) were available. Please see below for description\, speaker bios\, and CLE reading materials. \nUpdated location:\nFurman Hall\, Lester Pollack Colloquium Room\, Ninth Floor\n245 Sullivan Street\n6:00 p.m. – 7:15 p.m. \nIn the conversation with Rezaian and Lisa Monaco\, former Homeland Security Advisor to President Obama\, attorneys learned about the international legal and foreign policy issues around Rezaian’s detention and the negotiations for his release – including the parallel international nuclear agreement and resolution of the legal cases and termination of the extradition requests for Iranians that figured in the release of Rezaian and his fellow Americans held by Iran. \nDescription from Publisher Anthony Bourdain/Ecco: \nIn July 2014\, Washington Post Tehran bureau chief Jason Rezaian was arrested by Iranian police\, accused of spying for America. The charges were absurd. Rezaian’s reporting was a mix of human interest stories and political analysis. He had even served as a guide for Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown. Initially\, Rezaian thought the whole thing was a terrible misunderstanding\, but soon realized that it was much more dire as it became an eighteen-month prison stint with impossibly high diplomatic stakes. \nWhile in prison\, Rezaian had tireless advocates working on his behalf. His brother lobbied political heavyweights including John Kerry and Barack Obama and started a social media campaign—#FreeJason—while Jason’s wife navigated the red tape of the Iranian security apparatus\, all while the courts used Rezaian as a bargaining chip in negotiations for the Iran nuclear deal. \nIn Prisoner\, Rezaian writes of his exhausting interrogations and farcical trial. He also reflects on his idyllic childhood in Northern California and his bond with his Iranian father\, a rug merchant; how his teacher Christopher Hitchens inspired him to pursue journalism; and his life-changing decision to move to Tehran\, where his career took off and he met his wife. Written with wit\, humor\, and grace\, Prisoner brings to life a fascinating\, maddening culture in all its complexity. \n  \nSpeaker Bios \nJason Rezaian is one of the few Western journalists to have been based in Tehran in recent years. From 2009 until his arrest in 2014\, he covered stories that tried to explain Iran to a general American audience\, first as a freelancer for a variety of outlets and later as The Washington Post’s Tehran bureau chief. \nHe reported on two presidential elections\, Iran’s nuclear negotiations with global powers\, the effects of one of the most punitive sanctions regimes in modern times\, and environmental issues. \nIn between those momentous topics\, he told the stories of everyday Iranians which sought to make them more accessible to readers\, reporting on Iran’s small community of baseball players\, the quest for the best high-end hamburger in Tehran\, and a clinic for female drug addicts. \nIn July of 2014\, Rezaian and his wife were detained in their home and he went on to spend 544 days in Tehran’s Evin prison\, released on the same day that the historic nuclear deal between Iran and world powers was implemented. \nLisa O.
