Counterterrorism Law, Second Edition (Aspen Casebook)

Counterterrorism Law is a detailed survey of United States law governing the definition, detection, detention, interrogation, and prosecution of terrorists. Also covered is the availability and legal use of armed force, civil liability, and economic sanctions against terrorism and its state sponsors.

• organizes Counterterrorism law into separate, coherent, and pedagogically efficient parts
• adapts to multiple learning environments, including seminars and courses with limited class hours
• covers not only core issues of detention, interrogation and law enforcement, but also related issues such as data-mining, screening, civil liability, targeted killing, and sanctions
