Spring 2006
Law in an Age of Terror
In 2006, students learned about court decisions and laws, such as the U.S.A. Patriot Act, and considered whether we are preserving or reshaping our constitutional principles and values in response to the threat of terrorism. They explored earlier legal responses to national crises and investigated the anti-terrorism laws of other countries. Through participation in the summit, students formulated informed opinions about the role our civil liberties play in the fight against terrorism and the impact of national security laws on our civic values and traditions. You can use the resources and information on these pages in your own class.
