Professor Turley and GW Litigation Team Win Al-Arian Case

After eight years of work by Jonathan Turley, J.B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law, and his team of GW Law students, the Justice Department in late June dropped its criminal prosecution of former college professor Dr. Sami Al-Arian. "Our client, Dr. Al-Arian, and I could not be more proud of the hard work that our GW litigation team has dedicated to this case to help him get justice as well as our partnership with Bryan Cave as our local counsel," said Professor Turley. "The students, many of whom are now alumni, had an opportunity to work on a case with international significance and to produce a result that advances the rule of law in a real and tangible way."
