Spring National Security Law Course and Simulation Exercise
As an extension of his spring national security law course, B574, Professor Delaney has the opportunity to enroll four Indiana Law JD students in a multi-day, inter-school crisis law simulation exercise hosted by Georgetown Law. Students must be enrolled in B574 this spring to be eligible for the March 26-29 exercise. Please contact Professor Delaney by email as soon as possible (dgdelane@indiana.edu) if you are interested in participating in the exercise, or simply to discuss the possibility in greater detail. Your response will not bind you to enrolling in B574 or participating in the exercise, but the level of student response will help determine whether to accept Georgetown's invitation. If there is sufficient student interest, a selection process will be established to identify the law school's four participants.
