Should We Treat White-Nationalist Terror Like ISIS?: A Debate on the Merits of "Countering Violent Extremism" Initiatives
2019-09-19 12:30 (America/New_York) | Law School 3037
After the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, a growing number of national security experts have called for the U.S. government to treat the threat from white-nationalists like the threat from Islamist extremism. But the locus of these efforts, Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) programs which supplement counterterrorism tactics with initiatives to divert Americans at risk of extremist ideologies comes with major civil liberties challenges.

Lunch will be provided. Sponsored by the American Constitution Society. For more information, please contact Andrew Lindsay at andrew.lindsay@lawnet.duke.edu.

CANCELED - The Right to Remain Innocent: Why You Should Never Talk to the Police
2020-04-02 12:30
The Fifth Amendment often gets a bad name from television and movies that portray it as merely a shield for the guilty. But the right against self-incrimination is one of the most important rights citizens hold in a free society. Grueling interrogations used to coerce confessions are a sign of a tyrannical state. And the burden of putting people behind bars must be on those who seek to do so--not those facing life-altering punishments. Professor Duane, a well-known speaker on this topic, is sure to spark your thinking about why we have the Fifth Amendment and how to help accused persons in your career.
