The series will continue to follow the work of Professor Stafford Smith in different forums around the world, with topical legal battles that arise with each new month.
We will continue to explore the intersection (and more often the dissonance) between U.S. constitutional law and the way legal rights are respected in the U.K. We will look at the effort to eliminate jury trials in the U.K. – made at the same time as a conservative U.S. Supreme Court is firming up the right to a unanimous, 12-person jury on the other side of the Atlantic.
We will look to how the U.K has fostered “Guantánamo on the Euphrates”, a vastly larger experiment in a legal black hole than ever the U.S. imagined in Cuba, seeking to divorce terror suspects from due process in Syria and Iraq.
