US/Israel National Security

This panel builds on the new scholarship comparing U.S. and Israeli approaches to national security. Panelists will contrast American and Israeli law and policy with respect to extra-criminal detention, interrogation, surveillance, and more general privacy concerns arising out of governmental counterterrorism policies and the burgeoning jurisprudence concerning those efforts. The goal of the panel is to identify best practices and to help articulate the many ways in which the Israeli experience might provide helpful lessons for U.S. jurists and policymakers – and vice-versa.
