| Description: |
The Military Commissions Act of 2009: Back to the Future or the Fix for a Flawed System? The Military Commissions Act of 2006 allowed detainees to be tried in military tribunals rather than federal courts, and undercut habeas corpus for all Americans. President Obama signed a revision in 2009 designed to fix some of the flaws in this system. But what problems remain? Does the new act maintain a two-tier system of justice? Is the Military Commissions Act constitutional? Experts from academia, government, private practice, and the judiciary will debate these and other questions in this day-long event. Sponsored by the University of Toledo Law Review. To Register: $75 for 4.5 Hours of CLE (application pending with the Supreme Court of Ohio) Students may attend the symposium free of charge Lunch available (limited seating; advance registration required) Register by Tuesday, February 9, 2010.
