My approach to the topic is the case-study method. Each week, we will read a case study, along with the statutes, regulations, and other law-related materials that are relevant to the case. We’ll see how the case was handled in court and what reforms came out of the events that gave rise to the trial. Each week’s assignment will include copies of the relevant laws and court rules; a glossary of terms; background readings, and other supplementary materials. The course commences with the first attempt by Islamic militants to bring down the World Trade Center towers by means of a huge truck bomb in 1993. From there, I take you through the major terrorist incidents of the past 20 years. These include acts perpetrated by homegrown terrorists, such as the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995 and the trial of the SHAC Seven (animal rights) terrorists in Trenton (NJ) in 2006. Course Goals: When you have completed this course, you will: 1. Have a broad historical overview of the major terrorist attacks and subsequent legal proceedings in the United States in the 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century; 2. Have a broad overview, as well, of the statutes, rules, regulations and legal proceedings related to the detection, prevention and punishment of terrorism in the U.S.; 13. Be capable of briefing and analyzing relevant court opinions; and 4. If you are among the better students in the class, be capable of critiquing the American approach to the terrorist challenge, and formulating policy proposals to improve it.
