Ben Wizner, Edward Snowden\u2019s national ACLU attorney, to give talk at UH<\/abbr> Mānoa William S. Richardson School of Law<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The public will have a chance to hear Ben Wizner, Edward Snowden’s national American Civil Liberties Union<\/a> (ACLU<\/abbr>) attorney, discuss “Liberty and Security in the Age of Terrorism” at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> William S. Richardson School of Law<\/a> on Friday, January 15, 5:30 p.m. in Classroom 3. Wizner is director of the ACLU<\/abbr> Speech, Privacy and Technology Project<\/a>, and is the lead American attorney for NSA<\/abbr> whistle blower Snowden.<\/p>\n

The presentation is part of the unique “January-Term” (J-Term) schedule held during winter break each January at the law school. It brings to Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> exceptional legal scholars and advocates to teach special classes for extra credit for law students, continuing educational credits for practicing attorneys, plus thought-provoking offerings for the community.<\/p>\n

Wizner’s talk—part of a class co-taught by retired four-star Army General David Bramlett—is the final class in a week-long J-Term course taught from opposite points of view to offer provocative ideas for Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> law students. This session, free and open to the public, will deal specifically with “Surveillance in a Free Society.”<\/p>\n
