The Program for International Legal Studies at Wayne State University Law School recently presented “Constitutional Rights in the Age of the Security State” as part of its ongoing speaker series. Justice Andreas Paulus (pictured) of Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court, who is also a professor of the University of Göttingen in Germany, offered students, faculty and guests an opportunity to see American legal issues through European eyes. Topics covered included gathering intelligence versus privacy concerns, the profiling of criminal suspects, and detention without trial. Paulus spent the 2003-04 academic year as visiting assistant professor of law at the University of Michigan Law School and since 2006 holds a chair at the University of Göttingen. In 2010, Paulus was nominated to the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany.
