* NSL-events to put on your calendar if you are going to the AALS annual meeting in San Fran in January
Are you a law prof going to the AALS annual meeting in San Francisco in January? If so, put all of this on your calendar!
Friday January 7th
2:15-3:30
Impromptu Roundtable
There’s nothing particularly relevant for national security law on Friday the 7th (so far as I know), so Steve Vladeck and I thought it would be fun to have an impromptu roundtable to talk about issues such as targeted killing, wikileaks, and, as always, GTMO. No location selected yet, but if you are interested let me know so I can tell you where we end up going.
Saturday January 8th
8:30-10:15
Section on Fed Courts, “The Roberts Court and Official Immunity Doctrine” (apropos of the al Kidd litigation)
or
Section on Immigration Law, “Due Process in the Era of Mass Immigration Detention”
10:30-12:15
Committee on Research, “Book Publishing Workshop”
Granted, the connection to NSL here is thin, but I include this both because it is inherently interesting and because several of the editors on the panel have at least some interest in this topic and hence you might want to meet them to discuss any NSL-related book ideas you may have.
12:15-1:30
Section on National Security Law Luncheon (Note- need a ticket for this one. Well worth it though; aside from being an amazing scholar, Trevor served in the White House Counsel’s Office over the past two years)

Date & Time: Saturday, January 8, 12:15 – 1:15 p.m.

Stephen I. Vladeck, American University Washington College of Law

Description: Although military law and justice issues are at the core of many contemporary national security debates, they tend to get short shrift in academic discourse. This panel of experts—each of whom has served as either a uniformed or civilian military lawyer—will attempt to rectify that shortcoming, covering topics including the current state of civil/military relations; the ongoing controversy over stop-loss; the continuing implications of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell; current issues in the military criminal justice system; and the more general relationship between military law and national security law today. Separate from these individual topics, the panel will focus more generally on the state of military law, and on areas for both substantive and pedagogical reform going forward.
