A Conversation With Gitmo Lawyer Margulies
Joseph Margulies will talk about his role in coordinating the litigation challenging the Bush administration’s post-9/11 detention policy at 5 p.m. CT on Tuesday, Oct. 21, at the ABA’s headquarters at 321 N. Clark St. in Chicago. It is the first in a series of ABA events with legal newsmakers, and the public is invited to attend.
Margulies, a clinical professor at Northwestern University Law School, was lead counsel in the landmark case Rasul v. Bush, which in 2004 established the right of judicial review for Guantanamo Bay Naval Base detainees. He chronicled those experiences in Guantanamo and the Abuse of Presidential Power, which won him the ABA Silver Gavel Award for Books in 2007.
Those interested in attending should register here. A podcast of the program will be posted on ABAJournal.com later in the week.
We welcome your suggestions for questions we should ask Margulies. Post them below in the comments.
