Terrorism and the Law: Cases and Materials, 2d (American Casebook Series)

To offer a global and comparative perspective, Maggs’ Terrorism and the Law: Cases and Materials includes cases from foreign countries and international tribunals. The text addresses many legal developments that have occurred since the publication of the original edition, including Supreme Court decisions and federal legislation. The author considers legal aspects of a broad range of methods that governments have for fighting terrorism, including criminal penalties, economic sanctions, immigration restrictions, military force, and civil liability. It addresses not just the steps taken in reaction to the 9/11 attacks, but also many other counterterrorism measures by the United States and other nations in recent years.
