Events

Join Lawfare and Foreign Policy for drinks and conversation with two former White House counsels on the task of lawyering for and against the Trump administration.

As Lawfare readers are likely aware, two important events will be taking place at 2:30pm Eastern time this afternoon: first, a hearing by the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism featuring much-anticipated testimony by former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper; and second, oral argument in International Refugee Assistance Project v. Trump, a travel ban case before the U.S.

Today, the Brookings Institution is hosting a forum on President Trump's first 100 days in office. The first panel discussion, on national security issues, will feature Lawfare's Benjamin Wittes and Susan Hennessey along with Leon Wieseltier in a conversation moderated by Shane Harris of the Wall Street Journal. A livestream of the event is available below.

The American Society of International Law Annual Meeting's 19th Grotius Lecture will be delivered by Harvard University's David Armitage, author of the acclaimed new book, Civil Wars: A History in Ideas. The Distinguished Discussant will be Emory University's (and Lawfare book review editor) Mary Dudziak. Open to the public, free of charge on Wednesday, April 12, in Washington DC
