Oregon Legal Research Blog
My law library now has a copy of the DVD (2 disks):
Alaska Bar Association: “Excerpt from 2011 Convention, Fairbanks, AK: The Balance Between Security & Civil Liberties in War Times,”
featuring UC-Berkely Law Professor John Yoo (former White House attorney under George W. Bush) and Steve Wax (Oregon Federal Public Defender)
The Washington County Law Library is a research library so materials do not circulate, but we do have a conference room and a DVD player.
If you want your own copy of the DVDs, please contact the Alaska Bar Association.
