UA Law News:
» In the News - There's not a warship for miles, a small pirate skiff is speeding toward you and there's no way the creaking tub you're on can outrun the bandits. How long do you wait before you shoot? It's just one of many possible dilemmas facing an increasing number of private security companies who offer armed escorts – known in the industry as "shipriders" – to guard against Somali pirates Dean Kenneth C. Randall spoke with the Associated Press’ Katharine Houreld about the international law implications of such a question for the June 5, 2009 article, "Companies Hire 'Shipriders' Against Somali Pirates."

» Somali Pirates & International Law - With the rescue recently of Capt. Richard Phillips from the grips of Somali pirates, a new issue emerges: What legal options are available to the U.S. Department of Justice in prosecuting the lone Somali pirate in custody? Alabama Law’s Dean Kenneth C. Randall spoke with Washington D.C.’s WTOP-FM on Sunday, April 12, 2009, and gave his analysis of international law, regarding that very question. You can listen to the interview by clicking this link. Dean Randall also spoke with the Associated Press for its Monday, April 13, 2009 article, "Teen Piracy Suspect Raises Legal, Moral Issues."

» Campbell Moot Court Competition - The Law School’s Campbell Moot Court Competition, an intramural contest involving second-year Alabama Law students engaged in appellate-level brief writing and oral advocacy, was held on Wed, Apr. 8 in the Bedsole Moot Courtroom.
