Dear Colleagues:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the rat race ends with retirement,\u201d the Washington Post reported back in October, \u201cone of its principal features extends well past a person\u2019s last day of work.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>That feature is the stark inequality in the United States. A new report from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) had found that \u201cinequality has been growing from one generation to the next,\u201d which is \u201cparticularly alarming\u2026 as old age inequality among current retirees is already higher than in all other OECD countries, except Chile and Mexico.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Medicare means that inequalities in access to health care are not as great for the elderly as for other Americans, Social Security\u2019s redistributive benefit formula still leaves the substantial inequality that OECD found. Emily Campbell sees the local consequences in her work for the Center for Community Solutions. And they reflect how the international economy is shaping the lives of seniors in all advanced industrial democracies, as well as the peculiarities of American political, social and economic institutions: topics Professor Hokenstad has studied for decades. Join us as two experts join forces to explain a phenomenon that quietly surrounds us.<\/p>\n

All best regards,

Where We Meet<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Friday Public Affairs Lunch convenes each Friday when classes are in session, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Our programs are open to all and no registration is required. We usually meet in the Dampeer Room of Kelvin Smith Library.<\/span><\/p>\n

* Kelvin Smith Library requires all entrants to show identification when entering the building, unless they have a university i.d. that they can magnetically scan. We are sorry if that seems like a hassle, but it has been Library policy for a while in response to security concerns. Please do not complain to the library staff at the entrance, who are just doing their jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dampeer Room is on the second floor of the library. If you get off the elevators, turn right, pass the first bank of tables, and turn right again. Occasionally we need to use a different room; that will always be announced in the weekly e-mails.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parking Possibilities<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The most convenient parking is the lot underneath Severance Hall. We regret that it is not free. From that lot there is an elevator up to street level (labeled as for the Thwing Center); it is less than 50 yards from that exit to the library entrance. You can get from the Severance garage to the library without going outside. Near the entry gates – just to the right if you were driving out – there is a door into a corridor. Walk down the corridor and there will be another door. Beyond that door you’ll find the entrance to an elevator which goes up to an entrance right inside the doors to Kelvin Smith Library.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upcoming Events<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Continuing Salience of the Terrorism Prosecution<\/span><\/p>\n

A discussion with Wadie Said, Professor of Law, University of South Carolina School of Law, Monday April 16, 2018, 4:30 p.m., CWRU School of Law, Moot Courtroom (A59), 11075 East Blvd., Cleveland, Ohio 44106. Free and open to the public. Sponsored by the Institute for Global Security Law and Policy<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The U.S. government’s power to categorize individuals as terrorist suspects and therefore ineligible for certain long-standing constitutional protections has expanded exponentially since 9\/11, all the while remaining resistant to oversight. Professor Wadie Said provides an up-to-date dissection of the government’s advantages over suspects in criminal prosecutions of terrorism, which are driven by a preventive mindset that purports to stop plots before they can come to fruition. Professor Said also discusses the background for these controversial policies and practices and then demonstrates how they have impeded the normal goals of criminal prosecution, even in light of a competing military tribunal model. Said explores the emergence of a “terrorist exceptionalism” to normal rules of criminal law and procedure and questions whether the government has overstated the threat posed by the individuals it charges with these crimes, resulting in continuing violations of basic constitutional protections for criminal defendants.<\/p>\n

Wadie Said is a graduate of Princeton University and the Columbia University School of Law, where he served as an articles editor of the\u00a0Columbia Human Rights Law Review<\/em>. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of South Carolina, he was a visiting professor in the Law and Society Program at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and an assistant federal public defender in the Office of the Federal Public Defender for the Middle District of Florida, where he represented one of the defendants in U.S. v. Al-Arian, a complex terrorism conspiracy case. Upon graduation from law school, he served as law clerk to Chief Judge Charles P. Sifton of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and as a litigation associate in the New York office of Debevoise and Plimpton, where he helped coordinate the firm’s pro bono political asylum program.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
