West LegalEdcenter Webcast: "The NSA Disclosures: What Do We Really Know Now?"

We are doing an experiment on Thursday with the West LegalEdcenter: A lunchtime educational webcast entitled: "The NSA Disclosures: What Do We Really Know Now?" In our readership survey earlier this year, a large number of people expressed interest in the possibility of Lawfare's doing CLE programming. So as an experiment with providing this service, we have teamed up with West to do this webcast. The West LegalEdcenter is a subscription service, though one can also participate in its programming on an a la carte basis. Here is the  description of the program:

Recent disclosures about NSA surveillance---both leaks and official releases---have made public a huge amount of information about programmatic intelligence collection by the National Security Agency. The volume of information has been so vast that it's hard to keep track of, much less to understand how these activities fit under U.S. constitutional and statutory law. This webcast will make sense of what has become public and will look at the interaction of the intelligence community, the law, the judiciary, and the Congress.

The webcast will take place on Thursday from 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm. Participants will include me, Steven Bradbury---who recently authored this paper on collection under Sections 215 and 702---and Shane Harris, who has been covering the NSA controversies for Foreign Policy magazine. Please join us. Depending on how people like the program, and how many people use it, we may do more of these.
