In his 2011 Presidential Address, Professor Michael A. Olivas identified a number of issues that had recently arisen in U.S law schools that threatened faculty autonomy and independence, as well as international threats to college professors throughout the world. In 2010, an New York University law professor was sued in an international forum for his having been editor of an academic journal that published a book review. While he was fully exonerated in the matter, this event became a cause célèbre, and drew attention to issues of academic freedom, the civil procedure of international defamation litigation, and risks inherent in academic publishing. In this session, Professor Weiler, the editor sued for publishing the review, will discuss the case and its implications. Robert Quinn, the Director of the Scholars at Risk Network, will discuss the work of the SAR program, which attempts to provide safe havens and relocation for international scholars across field, whose viewpoints have put them at risk.
