Cases and Materials on Civil Terrorism Law
Description:... This book focuses on civil terrorism law and practice. The authors teach you about major civil terrorism cases as American victims have struggled to find justice through the legal system. You will also learn about the federal statutes connected with this area of law including the Alien Tort Claims Act, the Anti-Terrorism Act, also known as the Klinghoffer Act, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, the Flatow Amendment, and more. They also show the difference between civil terrorism cases, where virtually all targets of plaintiffs' claims have been determined to be either state sponsors of terrorism, designated terrorist organizations, or otherwise admit of their activities, and other civil cases where the court determines how to balance conflicting but usually legitimate legal claims. The authors also teach you about problems with satisfying judgements, the responsibility of the plaintiff to provide proof of liability and feasibility of lawsuits against terrorist organizations.
