Today, the American University Business Law Review (AUBLR) is hosting an exciting (and extremely timely) symposium on “Corporate Counter-Terrorism: The Role of Private Companies in National Security.” The video can be streamed here. [Editor’s note: We are working on providing the video on our site, but currently experiencing some technical difficulties. We’ve found the video plays best in Internet Explorer.] Just Security‘s own Steve Vladeck and Jen Daskal are moderating the first two panels. The full agenda for the symposium can be found below.
