Habeas Corpus and Guantanamo

Your Guantánamo Moment from Yale Law School on Vimeo.
P. Sabin Willett discusses his moment of revelation as an attorney, and those moments that will come for the next generation of lawyers Oct. 24, 2011, at Yale Law School.

This video is an interesting discussion by a lawyer who represented some of the Uyghur detainees on habeas corpus and detainee treatment act appeals. I think anyone who has done at least some defense work can relate to his experience in many respects.

Bail bonds

In case there was any doubt about this absconding to a foreign embassy and claiming asylum will result in a forfeiture of bail.  That is what happened this week to the people that served as bail sureties for Julian Assange.  His actions will cost them about $150,000.
