Marjorie Cohn is a Distinguished Law Professor at Thomas Jefferson School of
Law in San Diego where she’s taught since 1991 and is the current President of
the National Lawyers Guild. She’s also been a criminal defense attorney at the
trial and appellate levels, is an author, and writes many articles for
professional journals, other publications, and numerous popular web sites.
Her record of achievements, distinctions, and awards are many and varied –
for her teaching, writing, and her work as a lawyer and activist for peace,
social and economic justice, and respect for the rule of law. Cohn’s previous
books include “Cameras in the Courtroom: Television and the Pursuit of Justice”
and “Cowboy Republic: Six Ways the Bush Gang Has Defied the Law.”
Her newest book just out, co-authored with Kathleen Gilberd (a recognized
expert on military administrative law), is titled “Rules of Disengagement: The
Politics and Honor of Military Dissent.” It explores why US military personnel
disobey orders and refuse to participate in two illegal wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan. It also explains that US and international law obligate them to do
so.
“Rules of Disengagement” goes into courtrooms where military personnel “have
spoken out, arguing that (today’s) wars are illegal (and immoral) under
international (and US) law.” It’s a “practical guide” providing “specific
discussion(s) of applicable regulations and laws” for readers “to form their own
conclusions and consider their own options.” Above all, it’s a way for honorable
young men and women to dissent, resist, and disengage from two illegal, immoral
wars, in hopes many others will follow their example.
