National Guantanamo Teach-In October 5

If you're a law professor, lawyer or law student, the place to be October 5 is your local law school which likely is participating in the virtual National Guantanamo Teach-In. 200 law schools in 40 states are participating. If you're not near a law school, it will be live-streamed from the website.

On October 5th, Seton Hall will host an all-day conference available at academic institutions across the United States to study the national and international implications of indefinitely detaining hundreds of individuals deemed "enemy combatants."

The Guantanamo Teach-in will offer participants incisive analysis with diverse perspectives. Across America, from Maine to New Mexico, from Florida to Hawaii, and from Texas to Montana, law schools, colleges, universities, community colleges and seminaries will be linked in a national dialogue on the lessons of Guantanamo, sparked by, but not limited to, the broadcast presentations.

Unique to "Guantanamo: How Should We Respond?" is the ability of participating schools to mix and match simulcast sessions from Seton Hall with their own on-campus programming. Beginning at 10:00 EST, the Teach-In will be available via high-quality video streams accessed through this website. Schools in earlier time zones can pick up the sessions in progress or, by accessing a recording of the earlier sessions, view the whole program from the beginning. And, of course, participating schools can schedule their own programming instead of or in addition to some of the nationally broadcast sessions.

Background here. The program schedule is here.
