Trauma & the Brain for Attorneys
April 12, 2012
email Dr. Chris Wilson
View presentation here
Psychologist Chris Wilson will provide an overview of “Trauma & the Brain for Attorneys.” Attorneys, regardless of whether they practice criminal law, family law, employment law, tort law, or wills & estates, will encounter clients who either disclose a history of trauma or appear to have symptoms of a history of trauma.
While understanding trauma and neurobiology can seem daunting, using a concept called “the brain in your fist,” Dr. Wilson will present a way of looking at our brains’ response to trauma that non-mental health professionals appreciate for its simplicity. After viewing this podcast, law students will better understand how the brain responds to trauma so that when they are attorneys they can work effectively with victims of trauma. Full Post »

Joseph McMillan on “U.S. v. Hamdan” – Trial by Military Commission at Guantanamo
March 22, 2012
International Law Society | email ILS
View presentation here
In this podcast, the International Law Society hosts Joseph McMillan of Perkins Coie who talks about the case “U.S. v. Hamdan.” The legal basis for the challenge to military commissions advanced by counsel for former Guantanamo detainee Salim Hamdan culminated in the Supreme Court’s 2006 decision, Hamdan v. Rumsfeld.
From the New York Times:
In June 2006, his case was at the heart of the Supreme Court decision that repudiated the Bush administration’s plan to put Guantánamo detainees on trial before military commissions, ruling broadly that the commissions were unauthorized by federal statute and violated international law.
Mr. Hamdan became the first person in decades to face an American war crimes trial. On Aug. 6, 2008, a military commission convicted him of providing material support for terrorism. Mr. Hamdan was given what amounted to a four-month sentence by a military jury. A military judge gave him credit for at least the 61 months he was held after being charged, reducing his sentence to a matter of months.
He also describes Mr. Hamdan’s 2008 trial by military commission at Guantanamo, and certain features of current detainee policy. Full Post »
