Since the start of the War on Terror, legal scholars have been asking: "What happened to Habeas Corpus"?
 
Even the U.S. Supreme Court has said Habeas can't be tossed aside. Yet Guantanamo remains open, while black sites and renditions are said to survive. And, some say, the protections of The Great Writ of Habeas Corpus still suffer - all in the name of national security.
 
Two of those legal scholars are our guests for this edition of Due Process: Seton Hall Law Professors Mark Denbeaux and Jonathan Hafetz have taken their research and their advocacy beyond the classroom. Co-editors of "The Guantanamo Lawyers: Inside a Prison Outside the Law," both represent detainees at Guantanamo. Hafetz is also the author of "Habeas Corpus After 9/11: Confronting America's New Global Detention System," while Denbeaux's work on who's really imprisoned at Guantanamo made national headlines and caught the attention of Congress.
 
Due Process - winner of 21 New York and Mid-Atlantic Emmys - airs on NJTV, successor to New Jersey Network, on the stations and cable positions once occupied by NJN.
 
Due Process is a production of Rutgers School of Law - Newark and the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy with studio facilities provided by the Rutgers iTV Studio, Division of Continuing Studies. 
 
Major funding for Due Process is provided by The Fund for New Jersey and Rutgers, The State University.
