Counter-Terrorism Simulation

This semester I am enrolled in a Counter-Terrorism class at my law school. The class teaches us about how various countries respond to terrorist attacks and their policies for dealing with threats.

Each year class members participate in an all day simulation where they respond to a simulated terrorist attack somewhere in the United States. This years simulation will be on March 19th. I along with everyone in my class will have a different role (such as President of the United States, Secretary of Defense, Attorney General, etc.) to make the event as realistic as possible.

I can't tell you what my role is yet, but it will be really cool. All of this will be filmed and broadcasted live on the internet, so you can watch me save the country from the comfort of your own home.

The purpose of this event is to help law enforcement, government and other counter-terrorism policy makers around the country and world better prepare for terrorist attacks and develop effective policies to respond to threats. The goals is to help leaders around the world better protect citizens while avoiding violations of human rights.

I will have more information about this event as March 19th approaches.

It’s really cool to think that I will be helping to influence the global community's future policies toward terrorism.

Feel free to share this with anyone who would be interested.
