Lawfare Lawyers Storming the Courts

By Jeffrey Breinholt

"Lawfare." It is a term that has received extensive attention in national security commentary over the last few years. Defined as the efforts to achieve military objectives through legal tools, it is a term I did not coin, though I am flattered by the accusation. I have written about it. In fact, my foundation, the International Assessment and Stategy Center, will soon be launching a public website devoted to the topic. I believe lawfare is the most important issue in American law today. For my thoughts on it, read my article in today's Family Security Matters on the lawsuit recently filed against ex-DOJ official John Yoo.
