May 4 speaker represented 'high-value detainee' at Guantanamo

Jeff Robinson, a criminal defense lawyer at Schroeter Goldmark and Bender, will speak from noon to 1:20 p.m. May 4 on the Western Washington University campus.

In this presentation, Robinson will speak of his work with the John Adams Project, a joint effort of the ACLU and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers to involve some of the country’s best criminal defense attorneys in representing Guantanamo detainees. Having traveled repeatedly under intense security conditions to Guantanamo, Robinson will describe his extraordinary experiences representing one of the "high-value detainees" charged with the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

Robinson's presentation is part of the World Issues Forum from Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies. The presentation, which is free and open to the public, will take place in the Fairhaven College Auditorium.
