Spring 2008 Georgetown Course Based on "24"
JD and LLM students will be taking a course this spring entitled The Law of "24," which is based on the TV series. The course description, available at http://www.law.georgetown.edu/curriculum/tab_courses.cfm?Status=Course&Detail=1534, states "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."
See "The Law According to Jack Bauer" at slate.com, http://www.slate.com/id/2173564/nav/fix/ for their take.
Students must complete a 25 page paper!
