Description

In this presentation, Robinson will speak of his work with the John Adams Project, a joint effort of the ACLU and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers to involve some of the country's best criminal defense attorneys in representing Guantanamo detainees. Having traveled repeatedly under intense security conditions to Guantanamo in Cuba, Robinson faced challenges and risks to provide the accused with effective representation. His talk will describe his extraordinary experiences representing one of the five ‘high value detainees’ charged with the attacks on September 11, 2001.
