OCU School of Law to Participate in Tele-Conference on Guantánamo

Program free, open to the public October 5

Oklahoma City University School of Law joins more than 300 law schools Oct. 5 for a televised conference on Guantánamo: How Should We Respond?, a live broadcast that takes an in-depth look at the U.S. government’s detention of suspected terrorists in Guantánamo, Cuba.

The nine-hour broadcast is sponsored by Seton Hall University School of Law and is inspired by the teach-ins of the 1960s. Educators will join journalists, military officers, theologians, human rights activists, and detainee lawyers and released detainees.

Tagged a modern-day teach-in by its sponsors, the program will be carried in 46 states and the District of Columbia. About 80 percent of the nation’s law schools are participating including OCU and the University of Oklahoma College of Law.

OCU School of Law will stage the broadcast in the Homsey Family Moot Courtroom in Sarkeys Law Center from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Oct. 5. The program is free and open to the public. The program also will be available via high-quality video streams through the Seton Hall Web site.

Efforts at OCU are spearheaded by the school’s American Constitution Society. For more information, e-mail ACS President Tara Tabatabaie at ttabatabaie.stu@okcu.edu, or visit www.okcu.edu/law or http://law.shu.edu/guantanamoteachin
