On October 5, Brooklyn Law School participated in an all-day virtual teach-in about the detention policies and conditions affecting prisoners at Guantánamo Bay in the post-9/11 era. The day-long seminar was broadcast from Seton Hall University to over 200 universities and law schools across the country and featured panel discussions by legal experts, scholars, journalists and practitioners designed to increase awareness of the conditions and legal implications of the policies which brought Guantánamo Bay into the spotlight.

Following the official program, at 7:00 p.m., Brooklyn Law School hosted a panel discussion moderated by Professor Ursula Bentele, featuring two attorneys who have represented Guantánamo detainees, Joshua Col’angelo-Bryan and Marjorie Smith, Brooklyn Law School Professor Susan N. Herman, and Michael Blatchley ’07.
