Is our legal system prepared for attacks like we saw on the Colonial Pipeline last week? In a functioning democracy, is it appropriate for a private company like Facebook to be so important to electoral success? And as COVID cases in India surge, what are the legal complexities of easing vaccine intellectual property rights in order to help our global counterparts? Bill Banks and Yvette Bourcicot sit down to discuss all these national security law issues and more.

William Banks is a professor at Syracuse Law School and the Chair of the ABA Standing Committee on Law and National Security:
