The Randolph W. Thrower Symposium is an endowed series sponsored by Mr. Thrower’s family and hosted by the Emory Law Journal and Emory University School of Law. The 2016 Thrower Symposium explored the tensions, complementarities, and resulting legal implications in three rapidly changing and developing areas of national security: cyber security; new technologies, including domestic drones; and transnational tensions in domestic security, immigration laws, and cross-border security. Recent developments in the national security law arena demonstrate a strong need for organized and thoughtful discussions on threats and corresponding responses in these areas--at local, federal, and international levels; as well as across the public-private divide. The diverse opinions and approaches to assessing these issues created an opportunity for stimulating dialogue on the future of national security law.
