Neal Katyal is an expert in national security law, the American Constitution, the Geneva Conventions, and the role of the president and Congress after 9/11. He successfully challenged the policy of military trials at Guantanamo Bay Naval Station, Cuba. On June 29, 2006, the Supreme Court sided with him by a 5-3 vote, finding that President Bush's tribunals violated the constitutional separation of powers, domestic military law, and international law. Katyal attended Yale Law School and is currently a professor at Georgetown University Law School. He served as National Security Adviser in the U.S. Justice Department, was co-counsel in the Supreme Court presidential election dispute of 2000, and represented the deans of most major private law schools in the landmark University of Michigan affirmative-action case.
