The International Law Students Association Presents a Roundtable Discussion – Studying American Law in the Age of Warrantless Wiretaps: Risks and Implications

In the wake of Edward Snowden’s and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper’s revelations that the NSA conducts warrantless wiretaps of Americans, American law schools have not seen abundant discussion concerning far-ranging implications of warrantless domestic spying. Memphis Law’s very own Adjunct Professor General Albert C. Harvey and Professor Boris Mamlyuk will lead a roundtable discussion on this very intriguing topic at NOON on Thursday, November 13 in Room 127. Topics on the table will include the scope of potential constitutional violations, the statutory schemes that are said to authorize such actions, the civil rights and civil liberties concerns raised by warrantless domestic spying, and the intersection of private legal protections and constitutional protections. Lunch will be provided. Faculty and students alike are welcome to contribute to the discussion or just come and listen. Any questions may be sent to Matt Schwimmer at mschwmmr@memphis.edu.
