Call for Papers The National Security Issue of the William Mitchell Law Review brings together the opinions of expert commentators and journalists on vital topics in US national security. For the forthcoming issue we are asking for contributors to respond to five questions. The questions are as follows: · Ten years after 9/11, what is the most significant legacy left by the terrorist attacks? Are we safer? · What impact will the “Arab Spring” have on American national security? · What lessons can be learned from the Obama Administration’s handling of the Ahmed Warsame case? · Of all the threats to national security, which type is the US least prepared to handle? Where is the US most vulnerable to attack? · What factors will help determine whether al Qaeda has been defeated? Responses to these questions may resemble op-ed pieces. We are looking for contributions of between 2,000 and 4,000 words, with no specific footnote requirement. We are also seeking submissions of lengthier pieces on a national security topic of the author’s choosing. To view prior issues of the journal, please visit http://web.wmitchell.edu/national-security-forum/ Submissions are due December 1.
