This program is approved for 1.5 ethics CLE credits for Pennsylvania lawyers. CLE credit may be available in other jurisdictions as well.

In this account, Clapper, retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant general and former director of national intelligence under President Barrack Obama, provides a look inside the U.S. intelligence community as he traces his career through his service under every president since President John F. Kennedy and more recently through the wars in Syria, Ukraine and Afghanistan; the Benghazi attack; Edward Snowden's leak of classified information; and Russia's interference in the 2016 election.

The program will be moderated by Claire Finkelstein, CERL's founder and faculty director.
