Conversations on Law & Liberty in Times of Crisis
“Conversations on Law & Liberty in Times of Crisis” is a new program from the MBA's Presidential Task Force on the Preservation of Rights, Liberties and Access to Justice and the American Bar Association Division for Public Education. It is designed to encourage public discussion of the complex legal and civic issues facing our nation in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. At the heart of the project is the idea of convening public conversations organized around topics related to civil liberties.
