At the Intersection: Speaking Truth to Power featuring Michael Atkinson VIEW ALL EVENTS

Please join us for an in-depth conversation featuring former Inspector General of the Intelligence Community Michael Atkinson and TLS Scholar-in-Residence Alex Joel.

Mr. Atkinson will reflect on his career in the Department of Justice and as the Inspector General of the IC. We will examine the vital role inspectors general play in national security, and in particular, the need for IG independence in supporting IC professionals who raise concerns through authorized channels. We will discuss Mr. Atkinson’s experience in handling the whistleblower complaint regarding Ukraine, and reflect on lessons learned regarding the importance of speaking truth to power.

Summer Law Program in The Hague Information Session

Please join the War Crimes Research Office on Friday, January 15 at noon learn about this year's Summer Program in International Criminal Law and International Legal Approaches to Terrorism (The Hague Program)!

Due to the ongoing pandemic, American University Washington College of Law will not offer programs requiring travel abroad in summer 2021. However, the Hague Program was successfully held online in 2020, and we are pleased to continue to offer it in a virtual format this year. While we are disappointed that we will not be able to offer the program in The Hague this summer, we are excited to offer you the opportunity to connect with WCL classmates, network with guest speakers, and dive into areas of law that you haven’t explored much during the first year of law school.

Join us Friday, January 15 at noon to hear from past students about their experience on the program, how to enroll, and more!
