Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Say “soldier” and most people don’t think of military lawyers practicing law on a battlefield or in a makeshift courtroom. But there is a long history of Judge Advocate Generals in our military. We look at military justice system and hear the story of one JAG lawyer who prosecuted the first case of detainee abuse in Iraq.
Guests
- Eugene Fidell Teacher of Military Law at Yale Unviersity and America University of Law Washington; and President, the National Institute of Military Justice
- Vivian Gembara Attorney; author of "Drowning in the Desert: A JAG's Search for Justice in Iraq" (Zenith Press)
