DESCRIPTION:Who: Laura Donohue, Fellow, CISAC and the Center for Constitutional Law, 
 Stanford Law School\nEvent: How has counterterrorist law in both the United 
 Kingdom and the United States impacted the balance of power between the 
 branches of government? In the aftermath of a terrorist attack political 
 stakes are high: legislators fear being seen as lenient or indifferent and 
 there is a heightened potential to grant the executive broader authorities 
 without thorough debate. The judiciary’s role, too, is restricted: 
 constitutional structure and cultural norms can narrow the courts’ 
 ability to check the executive at all but the margins. To shed light on the 
 impact of combating terrorism in liberal, democratic states, Laura Donohue, 
 author of The Cost of Counterterrorism: Power, Politics, and Liberty, joins 
 the Peninsula Chapter to discuss the cost of counterterrorist law in the 
 U.K. and the U.S., arguing that the damage caused is significantly greater 
 than first appears.\nAdmission Costs: Council Members: Free, Students: $5, 
 Nonmembers: $15\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/04/28/18495519.php
