Kittrie speaks at Defense Department 'Threat Day'

Professor Orde Kittrie was a featured speaker at “Threat Day 2013,” the annual conference sponsored by the U.S. Defense Department's Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office.  Kittrie spoke on the topic, “Lawfare and U.S. National Security.” "Lawfare" is the use of law as a substitute for traditional military means to achieve national security objectives.
