The Law of "24"
Professor W. Sharp
LL.M Course 853 (cross-listed) 2 credit hours

The award winning Fox Television drama series 24 explores America’s fictional response to international terrorism through the eyes of Jack Bauer, a U.S. counter-terrorism agent. Oftentimes without remorse or regard for the law, Agent Bauer is willing to do what has to be done when faced with the threat of kidnappings, assassinations, nuclear detonations, and bioterrorism on U.S. soil – despite traitors in his family, his unit, and the White House; partisan politics; sleeper cells; and hidden agendas. This course provides a detailed understanding of a very wide-range of U.S. domestic and international legal issues concerning counterterrorism in the context of the utilitarian and sometimes desperate responses to terrorism raised by the plot of 24. Course requirements include active classroom discussion and a paper of approximately 25 pages.

Dirai: ma e' per sta roba che i futuri avvocati ammerigani pagano 35 mila dollari l'anno in tuition? Eh, ci sono in gioco scelte importanti, sai; che poi devono decidere se pensarla cosi' o cosi'. Ad ogni modo il corso pare molto piu' interessante di quella vaccata della sesta stagione (e fortuna che ogni martedi' ci salvava il 24 absurd-o-meter del New York Magazine).
