Down at Guantanamo, pre-trial proceedings will resume this morning in the military commission case of United States v. Al-Nashiri.  As always, courtroom discussion will be piped to a closed-circuit viewing facility here at Maryland's Fort Meade, in almost-real-time.  (There's a forty-second delay in the audio and video.) We understand that a Rule 505 session---regarding the handling of classified material during arguments, to the extent necessary---will be held from 9:00 a.m. to roughly 10:00 a.m.

Down at Guantanamo, pre-trial proceedings will resume this morning in the military commission case of United States v. Al-Nashiri.  As always, courtroom discussion will be piped to a closed-circuit viewing facility here at Maryland's Fort Meade, in almost-real-time.  (There's a forty-second delay in the audio and video.) We understand that a Rule 505 session---regarding the handling of classified material during arguments, to the extent necessary---will be held from 9:00 a.m. to roughly 10:00 a.m.  After that, public proceedings and the closed-circuit transmission will begin, along with Lawfare's coverage.  You'll find periodic dispatches throughout the day in our "Events Coverage" section; we'll also link to the dispatches below.  Update [10:50 a.m.]: public proceedings are underway. 5/28 Session #1: Getting the SSCI RDI Report---or Not 5/28 Session #2: Protective Order Rules and Ex Parte Contacts 5/28 Session #3: Members Versus Judges; Continuing Discovery Obligations 5/28 Session #4: On the Motion to Reconsider the RDI Discovery Order
