of Chief Justice John Marshall. Cake will be served in the Sargis-Miner Student
Lounge at noon and 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 28. Dean Emeritus Fred Herzog

practice law in 1780. Marshall was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates
in 1782, 1787 and 1795, and to the United States House of Representatives in
1799. President John Adams appointed Marshall as Secretary of State 1800, and
subsequently nominated him as chief justice of the Supreme Court 1801. Marshall
was commissioned Jan. 31, 1801 and sworn in Feb. 4, 1801. He served as chief
justice of the Court more than 34 years. He died July 6, 1835, while serving on
the Court.

The Decalogue Society at The John
Marshall Law School is hosting a 12:30 p.m. presentation Monday, Sept. 26, on
"Democracy vs. Terrorism: An Israeli Perspective." The speaker will be Emanuel
Gross, professor at the University of Haifa Faculty of Law who is a visiting
professor this semester at John Marshall.
Terrorism is a phenomenon of the 21st
century. It is not a regional problem or restricted to individual states. It
poses a real danger to the liberal regimes and a real threat to democracies,
the professor says.
Gross, a retired chief judge of the
district military court for the Israeli Southern Command will offer his
perspective on how a democracy should deal with the terrorism threat, and what
are the legal and moral rules that regulate a war on terrorism.
