    Wisdom for a World in Turmoil

    On Tuesday, September 10, from 5:30 – 7:00 pm, the Strauss Center for International Security and Law will join the Clements Center for National Security in hosting Robert D. Kaplan. Not since the end of the Cold War has the world faced such danger. War rages in Europe and the Middle East. The U.S. and a rising China face off across the Taiwan Strait. American policy has struggled to deter or manage these conflicts and struggles to grasp the tumultuous internal dynamics of societies in the Mideast and “Global South.”

    On September 10, Robert D. Kaplan, bestselling author of twenty-three books on foreign policy, will discuss how our leaders can come to grips with a world seemingly in disarray. Kaplan’s most recent book, The Loom of Time, examines the history and geopolitics of the vast region between the Mediterranean and China, encompassing much of the Arab world, parts of northern Africa, and Asia. With the dissolution of empires in the twentieth century, postcolonial states have endeavored to maintain stability in the face of power struggles and arbitrary borders drawn by departing imperial rulers. In The Loom of Time, Kaplan makes the case for historically informed foreign-policy as an approach to the Greater Middle East.

    Light refreshments will be provided. Paid visitor parking is available at the Manor Garage, Brazos Garage, and the San Jacinto Garage. Email Susan Crane at scrane@austin.utexas.edu with questions.

    Biography: Robert D. Kaplan is the bestselling author of twenty-two books on foreign affairs and travel translated into many languages, including The Loom of Time, The Tragic Mind, Adriatic, The Good American, The Coming Anarchy, Balkan Ghosts, Asia’s Cauldron, and The Revenge of Geography. He holds the Robert Strausz-Hupé Chair in Geopolitics at the Foreign Policy Research Institute. For three decades he reported on foreign affairs for The Atlantic.

    A senior adviser at Eurasia Group, he was chief geopolitical analyst at Stratfor, a visiting professor at the United States Naval Academy, a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, and a member of both the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board and the U. S. Navy’s Executive Panel. Foreign Policy magazine twice named him one of the world’s “Top 100 Global Thinkers.”

    New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman has called Kaplan among the four “most widely read” authors defining the post-Cold War (along with Stanford Professor Francis Fukuyama, Yale Professor Paul Kennedy, and the late Harvard Professor Samuel Huntington). Kaplan’s article, “The Coming Anarchy,” published in the February, 1994 Atlantic Monthly, about how population rise, ethnic and sectarian strife, disease, urbanization, and resource depletion is undermining the political fabric of the planet, was hotly debated in foreign-language translations around the world. So was his December, 1997 Atlantic cover story, “Was Democracy Just A Moment?” That piece argued that the democracy now spreading around the world would not necessarily lead to more stability. According to U. S. News & World Report, “President Clinton was so impressed with Kaplan, he ordered an interagency study of these issues, and it agreed with Kaplan’s conclusions.”

    In the 1980s, Kaplan was the first American writer to warn in print about a future war in the Balkans. Balkan Ghosts was chosen by The New York Times Book Review as one of t

    EmPOWERed for Public Interest

    This event is part of the Justice Center initiative designed to support students whose lived experiences intersect with the legal systems they aspire to challenge in their careers. For example, students who have themselves or had family members become entangled in the criminal legal system and are interested in public defense work; immigrant students or students who are the children or family members of immigrants seeking to challenge the immigration system; and low-income students seeking to challenge laws and policies that further marginalize poor people, such as predatory lending, cash bail, etc.

    EPI gatherings serve as a space for dialogue, mentorship, and resource-sharing tailored to the needs and strengths of students whose work as public interest law students and future attorneys may directly relate to their own lived experiences or those of their loved ones.

    Please RSVP by noon on Friday, September 13th: https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5A15NALbEAOfqhU

    Repro Justice Colloquium: Robyn Powell

    This speaker series considers the criminalization of reproduction—historical and contemporary, local and global—largely through the lens of reproductive justice.

    RSVP

    Abstract: People with disabilities face structural, legal, and institutional barriers to accessing reproductive health services and information, including contraception and abortion care. They also experience high rates of violence and reproductive coercion, as well as stigma and discrimination from health providers. They are more likely to experience maternal morbidity and mortality, rendering pregnancy particularly dangerous for some. Mounting abortion restrictions after Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization will result in some disabled people being forced to carry pregnancies to term, notwithstanding serious health risks. Should they choose to raise their children after childbirth, they will likely encounter ongoing threats to their parental rights because of laws, policies, and practices that assume incompetence among disabled parents. Thus, the ruling creates a paradox for disabled people where they may be forced to bear children but subsequently denied the opportunity to rear them, perpetuating a historical pattern of exploitation and subjugation. This paper identifies and responds to this paradox by providing and applying a disability reproductive justice framework.

    Robyn Powell is Professor of Law at Stetson University. Her work examines the intersection of disability justice and reproductive justice, with a focus on disability law and policy, health law and policy, and family law. She is a leading authority on the rights of parents with disabilities and has served as an Attorney-Advisor at the National Council on Disability. Her forthcoming publications include “Disabling Abortion Bans” (UC Davis Law Review) and “Forced to Bear, Denied to Rear: The Cruelty of Dobbs for Disabled People” (Georgetown Law Journal). She received a Ph.D. and M.A. in Social Policy from Brandeis University, a J.D. from Suffolk University Law School, and a B.S. in Social Work from Bridgewater State University.

    Rising Tensions in Northeast Africa

    On Tuesday, September 24, the Strauss Center for International Security and Law and the Clements Center for National Security, will host Ambassador Larry André and Sarah Harrison to discuss "Rising Tensions in Northeast Africa." Millenia old hydrology worries, centuries old national rivalries, and a decades old secessionist movement converge to generate rising tensions in Northeast Africa. Hear from Sarah Harrison of the International Crisis Group and Ambassador Larry André on the potential conflict involving Egypt, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Somalia's secessionist state of Somaliland. This discussion will be moderated by Professor Stephen Slick, Director of the Intelligence Studies Project.

    The Story of Clinton Young

    From Execution Date to Release Date: The Story of Clinton Young

    Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Clinton Young, a former Texas death row inmate who spent 18 years in solitary confinement for a crime he insists he didn’t commit. Convicted of two murders at the age of 19, Clinton was sentenced to death in 2003, largely based on the testimony of his co-defendants—testimony that was later proven false.

    In September 2021, Clinton’s conviction and death sentence were overturned by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals due to shocking prosecutorial misconduct. The prosecutor, while working on Clinton’s case, was also secretly serving as a law clerk for the judges who presided over the trial. This blatant violation of due process led to Clinton's release on bond in January 2022, making him the first former death row inmate to secure release on bond. He now awaits a new trial.

    This event offers an extraordinary opportunity to learn about the flaws in the criminal justice system, wrongful convictions, and the fight for justice. Clinton’s case exemplifies critical legal issues surrounding due process violations, prosecutorial misconduct, and the resilience required to survive on death row.

    Don’t miss this powerful session that will provide unique insight into the life of someone wrongfully convicted and highlight the crucial role lawyers play in fighting for justice.

    **Food will be provided**

The competition provides an opportunity for students to draft and negotiate a transactional document, such as a term sheet or an agreement, in a manner that mirrors corporate legal practice. The competition is judged by corporate partners and associates from firms all over the state of Texas. This is an excellent opportunity for students to gain exposure to real practical documents and experience the role of a transactional attorney. Additionally, the TTSC provides students with networking and mentorship opportunities with practicing transactional attorneys.

    The 2024 competition will be held Saturday, October 5th. During the competition, participants compete against their peers over two rounds of negotiation. The goal is to reach a deal by demonstrating your negotiation skills and articulating your client’s needs. TBLS will host a reception for the judges and participants following the competition. This year, we are excited to host the competition in-person!
