We're delighted to be sponsoring the @americanbar.org's 36th Annual Review of National Security Law conference in Washington, DC.
Up right now: Our @rcls-nyu.bsky.social fellow and use of force expert @bcfinucane.bsky.social, speaking to whether technology is rewriting the boundaries of warfare.
We can’t wait for this year’s incredible lineup of speakers—advocates, gov’t lawyers, & private sector experts. With special thanks to Keighle Joyce & our co-hosts at the National Security Law Society.
We’re grateful to Keighle for reflecting on: ➡️Approaching the same issues from different vantage pts/branches of gov’t ➡️Seeking mentors amongst inspiring colleagues ➡️Finding common ground on important issues
The ’26-’27 season of A Road Less Traveled is on!
Thank you to Keighle Joyce, an experienced Hill and DOJ practitioner, for speaking w/ our @nyulaw.bsky.social students.
We invite law & policy experts like Keighle from across the #natsec community to share their career insights on campus.
"As my colleagues and I gazed at the television in stunned silence, it was clear to us not only that the collapse of the World Trade Center had killed thousands of people, but amongst the dead were almost certainly hundreds of fellow firefighters."

I was asked to contribute to a @justsecurity.org / @rcls-nyu.bsky.social collection of reflections pegged to the 25th anniversary of 9/11 - where I was, how it shaped my professional life, and how that informs my work today in the current historical moment. www.justsecurity.org/156339/9-11-...
The question for government lawyers - and courts - in national security cases is often "how much to accept the president's version of reality as fact," @becingber.bsky.social explains.
The universal view of experts, @becingber.bsky.social explains, is that the Trump administration's killings at sea are murder under domestic law, extrajudicial killings under international law, and given their systematic nature, may well be crimes against humanity.
@bcfinucane.bsky.social on the opportunities for Congress to conduct oversight and lay the groundwork for accountability.
@tessbridgeman.bsky.social on post-9/11 parallels and the effect of bureaucratic inertia and top-down pressure—what looks like a “Zombie policy.”
@becingber.bsky.social on the "legal leaps" used to justify the administration's killings at sea.
On 9/2/25, the Trump admin first struck a vessel allegedly trafficking narcotics. 1 yr into the ongoing US boat strikes campaign, 227 have been killed. @rcls-nyu.bsky.social & @justsecurity.org cohost the latest analysis w/ legal experts. 🧵 w/ key takeaways👇
