UC Davis News & Information :: Event Focuses on Surveillance, Wiretapping, Terrorism: "John Yoo -- who spearheaded the Bush administration's legal response to the 2001 terrorist attacks -- and other constitutional scholars will debate the National Security Agency's surveillance program, warrantless phone wiretapping and the war on terror at UC Davis March 9.
The event, titled 'Katz v. U.S: 40 Years Later -- From Warrantless Wiretaps to the War on Terror,' will focus on how the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark 'search and seizure' decision in Katz applies in a modern age of global terrorism.
The UC Davis Law Review and the School of Law will host the free, public event. The program runs from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Wilkins Moot Court Room of King Hall on the UC Davis campus.
'The issue of warrantless wiretaps and personal privacy has resurfaced from under the current NSA surveillance program,' said David Richardson, editor-in-chief of the law review. 'This symposium will allow some of the greatest legal minds in the country to discuss both sides of this controversy.'"
