Case Western Reserve - Lawfare
Case Western Reserve (Vol. 43, Nos. 1 & 2, 2011) has created what, in effect, is an online course in "Lawfare", which presents different issue areas and differing points of view in answer to the question: LAWFARE!:ARE AMERICA'S ENEMIES USING THE LAW AGAINST US AS A WEAPON OF WAR?

Qatada back on the streets within days despite posing 'grave risk'
A marvellous headline from The Daily Telegraph, which obscures the difficulties faced by the UK to legally deal, with a charge, trial and result; with a man who is regarded as an extremist ideologue / preacher, who officialdom regards as a risk. Note he has been in jail - without charge - for six years.
He is ostensibly awaiting deportation to Jordan, who convicted him of terrorism in absentia; some of the evidence allegedly obtained under duress / torture. The European Court of Human Rights ruled against a deportation last month.

The Emergence of Lawfare (OUP Infographic)
'Lawfare' Could Become Trump Tool Against Adversaries

Pete McGuire in his book "Law and War - An American Story" defines Strategic legalism as "the use of laws or legal arguments to further larger policy objectives, irrespective of the facts or laws." I have a couple questions and would like to see if there is any interest with the forum participants.
1. Is strategic legalism different from lawfare?
2. If not, is strategic legalism included in lawfare or is lawfare part of strategic legalism? :confused:
IMO Lawfare is the on the highest policy level possible! So it would follow that a strategic legalism is different and of a lower level. It deals more with the actual weaponization of the law. Corporations do this all the time often to the detriment of our Nation as a whole.
Also IMO General Dunlap is one of greatest undiscovered Strategist we have, If his advice were ever truly followed we would start winning so much we would get tired of it...........hint:President Trump!
Lawfare against the Armed Forces
A short blog article from Policy Exchange, a London-based "neo-con" think tank; with the full title and sub-title:

Lawfare against the Armed Forces must be on the next Government’s agenda; Combatting the judicialisation of war

There is considerable apprehension at the way the courts have interpreted human rights and other laws. As yet no-one has taken action, as the article commends.
