“One of the greatest things about the Center is that it is effective. The reports we create are taken seriously by the government. They are attached to Supreme Court briefs and cited in Congressional hearings. How many academic research programs can say that the Department of Defense instructed West Point to respond to their reports?"

"I have been privileged to meet and work with habeas litigators from all over the country. I watched as my work was cited by thousands of news outlets around the world. And I learned the law from a different angle, working with facts and real world problems rather than focusing solely on doctrine. My work at the Center has truly enriched my legal education."

"Working for the Center was by far the most rewarding and fulfilling work I did in law school. The research we conducted on the legal and policy questions surrounding the Guantanamo detainees brought to life what were only abstract questions in my law school courses and spurred my interest in international law, national security and the judicial process."

"Guantanamo has forever changed the role of lawyering. Reading and editing the first hand accounts of lawyers with clients detained at Guantanamo provides a intimate view into the strategies that have been used to overcome the numerous and unprecedented logistical barriers these lawyers have faced."

"There are moments in history in which the rules adopted by society at large are challenged by a small group. Daily events carried out in the name of America at Guantanamo Bay and the surrounding War on Terror are such a moment and require analysis and scrutiny. By focusing exclusively on government data we are able to provide judgment-free analysis based on the facts as documented by Americas leadership.”

“Not only is the research on Guantanamo Bay eye-opening, it is important because it exposes truth, and it seeks to create accountability in the government. As a result of my experiences working for the Center on Research and Policy, I have a new appreciation for the role the Constitution plays in protecting our individual freedoms. I’ve learned that transparency in government is extremely important in safe-guarding those freedoms.”

"As a first-year student, I vividly remember the law school search process. While looking at Seton Hall Law, I learned that a professor represented multiple Guantanamo Bay detainees. I never imagined that I would learn contract law from Professor Denbeaux, let alone watch him testify before Congress using a report I helped write. Seton Hall made it all possible."

“As a new law student, I fully expected to study theory, and Seton Hall is a great forum for doing that. However, it's what you do outside of those theory-based classes that can define your law school experience. For me, working on the Guantanamo Reports is an opportunity to apply the skills of lawyering while still in law school.”

"Shortly after joining Professor Denbeaux's research team I had the opportunity to travel to Washington D.C. with two other team members to hear him testify before Congress. Not only was it an amazing experience to sit in on a congressional committee hearing, but it was the first time I realized that I was truly a lawyer-in-training. After only a few short months at Seton Hall Law I could understand and analyze the testimony given by various lawyers in a way I would not have been able to before entering law school. It was a wonderful feeling being able to apply lessons from the class room to a real world situation."

"When I was making my decision as to which law school to attend, I read some of the Center's work, and was immediately impressed. Until I began working with the Center, I did not realize just how much of the work was done by students. The opportunity to do such meaningful, challenging, exciting work at this stage in my legal training is invaluable."

Speaking to people halfway around the world in the interests of justice while working to bring out the truth in Guantanamo Bay has led me to a stronger appreciation of the research the Center is doing."
