Fri, 17 August 2007 Spying on Americans For nearly 30 years, laws have been in place to protect Americans from having their communications monitored. In the past two weeks, this heretofore illegal practice has become partially legalized. What is the history of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the closed door courts assigned to administer and oversee the monitoring of Americans? MSL Educational Forum host Constance Rudneck and several experts discuss the issues surrounding these questions and the fallout from the revelation in late 2005 that the law had been routinely broken since 9/11. The Massachusetts School of Law, located in Andover, Massachusetts, makes high quality, affordable legal education available to less privileged persons who are traditionally excluded from the legal profession. As part of its mission of providing high quality education and information for both law students and the general public, the Massachusetts School of Law also presents information on important current affairs to the general public via television and radio broadcasts, an intellectual journal, conferences, author appearances, blogs and books.
