THE NUREMBERG TRIALS: 70 YEARS LATER

Join us for an exciting educational event and reception commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Nuremberg war crimes trials. Participants will hear from a moderated panel of experts in international criminal law who will discuss key historical aspects of the trials, the resulting international legal issues that they raised, and the modern day significance 70 years later.
Thanks to the generosity of the Storey family, the event will also feature a sample of the Storey Collection. This exhibit comprises a number of artifacts that CAIL founder and SMU Law School Dean Robert G. Storey collected during his time as executive trial counsel to Justice Robert H. Jackson in the prosecution of Herman Goering, Rudolf Hess and other high-ranking Nazi officials. Some personal items from George E. Seay, Sr. will also be on display thanks to the generosity of the Seay family. Seay served as a prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials.
