In the May 2019 issue of Washington Lawyer, the D.C. Bar magazine, it was noted that "at the end of World War II, there were seven walls or fences marking international borders. By the time the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, 15 walls were in existence." One may be surprised that today, since 9/11, more than 70 walls exist. This lecture series asks five people on the ground to give us their views on where this crisis is going and how their organizations are dealing with it.
