Dear Colleague:
The ABA Standing Committee on Law and National Security (SCOLNS) is one of the oldest and most active committees of the ABA whose members are dedicated to furthering the bar’s and public’s understanding and appreciation for the practice of law in the area of national security. To help reach our objective, the Committee is hosting a one day seminar on the pedagogy of teaching national security law -- approaches and issues, a “Lawyer Jurga.” The Seminar will be held on Saturday, October 2, 2010 at the L’Enfant Plaza Hotel, 480 L’Enfant Plaza, SW, in Washington, DC.

The purpose of this seminar is to bring together academics, practitioners, and instructional communities from our nation’s law schools, educational legal centers, military and intelligence legal training institutions, military academies, and the National Defense University to discuss the methods, tools, and processes of teaching national security law. This will be the first gathering of all the different communities that has ever taken place. The seminar will build upon the dedicated work done by many of the pioneers in this field by bringing together the community of national security law teachers.
The seminar will be held from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. and will feature law, JAG, and service school panels, as well as an issues panel on detention and a keynote luncheon address.
