Legislation and Policy Brief
This article focuses on the venue of Mohammad’s trial and is broken into three sections. The first section reviews the historical use of military tribunals.

But some groundbreaking jurists are cognizant of the reality and harm of subtle bias - and are acknowledging them in their analysis in racial harassment cases. While not yet widely recognized, the jurists are nonetheless creating important precedents for a re-interpretation of racial harassment jurisprudence, and by extension, employment discrimination …
