Inside The Room: Attorney-Diplomats at work on U.S. Foreign Relations

The Washington Foreign Law Society presents a two-part interview series, co-sponsored by the American Society of International Law, featuring Mark B. Feldman and Jeffrey H. Smith, former government attorneys with decades of experience in foreign affairs. They will share personal experiences and insights from historic foreign policy crisis ranging from Vietnam to Iran Contra and the Iraq war. While focusing on the role of government attorneys in crisis management, the speakers will consider the broader issues at stake and take viewers inside the room where fateful decisions were made. Our presenters will also take questions from attendees.
