Public Lecture Details
Are We on a Snipe Hunt?: Combining Clinical Programs, Skills Courses and Doctrinal Education will be given Tuesday, October 23, 2007 at 12 p.m. in room 114 at the law school.
Professor Rose will discuss the current perceptions about how law schools should teach their students in a rapidly evolving world. He will share the Stetson approach for integrating clinical programs, skills courses and doctrinal education into the law school experience. His talk will focus on methodologies that create synergy between faculty, administration and students in a way that increases the value of the education offered. The goal of this presentation is to foster a discussion on how we as academics can maximize our ability to create the most complete, prepared, and professional graduate possible.
Taming the Wild, Wild Middle East: How to properly prosecute Contractors, Soldiers and Terrorists will be given Thursday, October 25, 2007 at 12 p.m. in room 102 at the law school.
We currently live in a world of our own creation where soldiers are routinely prosecuted, convicted and sentenced for war crimes. Terrorists rot in cells awaiting possible prosecution at some date yet to be determined and contractors get fired if they do something wrong. How did we get to this point? Is there a better way to do it? If so, how? This talk reviews the current legal and political quagmire concerning criminal jurisdiction over persons found on the modern asymmetrical battlefield and posits a way forward that ensures justice while protecting the individual civil liberties of all concerned.
