PROFESSOR AMY GAUDION TO BE CO-AUTHOR IN FORTHCOMING EDITION OF NATIONAL SECURITY LAW TEXTBOOK
January 2024 — Professor Amy C. Gaudion will join Geoffrey S. Corn, Jimmy Gurulé, Jeffrey D. Kahn, and Gary Corn as a co-author of the third edition of National Security Law & the Constitution, to be published by Aspen in 2024.
National Security Law and the Constitution provides a comprehensive examination and analysis of the inherent tension between the Constitution and select national security policies, and it explores the multiple dimensions of that conflict. It explores the constitutional foundation for the development of national security policy and the exercise of a wide array of national security powers. Each chapter focuses on critically important precedents, offering targeted questions following each case to assist students in identifying key concepts to draw from the primary sources. The textbook follows an organizational structure tailored to present national powers as a coherent “big picture,” with the aim of helping students understand their interrelationship with each other, and the legal principles they share. It also offers a comprehensive treatment of the relationship between constitutional, statutory, and international law, and the creation and implementation of policies to regulate the primary tools in the government’s national security arsenal.
Amy C. Gaudion is an associate professor of law at Penn State Dickinson Law as well as the founder of Dickinson Law’s annual cyberspace simulation with the U.S. Army War College. Her scholarship focuses on national security law, cyberspace, and civilian-military relations, and she leads Dickinson Law’s national security and cyberspace programs.
