Leitner Center - Fordham Law

Center for International Security and Humanitarian Law

Professor Thomas H. Lee has established a new center to analyze and to articulate effective regimes for the international and domestic legal regulation of armed conflict in the twenty-first century and beyond. To that end, the Center invites speakers, convenes conferences, and commissions and drafts reports, with a particular eye on the challenges from the perspective of the United States. CISHL held its inaugural event in April 2007 with Alexander A. Miller, retired Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy, and former chief of staff of the National Security Agency, who spoke about the challenges facing the U.S. intelligence agencies in the wake of 9/11 and the rise of new sorts of threats to American national security.
