Terrorism On Trial: An Overview of Anti-Terrorism Litigation in Federal Courts

SKU: INT3200 Back to Course Listings

About This Course

This CLE course will provide an introduction to the niche world of anti-terrorism litigation, providing an overview of the most commonly-used federal anti-terrorism statutes: 28 U.S.C. 1605A (the “terrorism exception” to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act) and the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) as amended by the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA).

It will also cover eligibility criteria, timelines and key hurdles to obtaining a judgment, available damages, policy implications, and key players. It will also address the most frequently asked question: do you ever actually collect on those judgments?

Lecturer Bio

Amanda Fox, Esq.

Amanda's practice is devoted to representing victims of terrorist attacks in lawsuits against foreign governments and organizations that provide material support to terrorist organizations including Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Taliban. She also brings claims against financial institutions that aid and abet terrorism in violation of sanctions and trade practices. Amanda's clients include U.S. citizens and foreign nationals who were injured or killed in the U.S. Embassy bombings in Lebanon, Kenya, and Tanzania, as well as victims of the September 11th attacks. She has secured judgments exceeding $200 million and has recovered significant proceeds of those judgments from the governments of Iran and Sudan, as well as from the U.S. Victims of State Sponsors of Terrorism Fund.

She was part of the legal team that represented over 1,000 victims of the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marines Barracks in Beirut, Lebanon. After securing judgments in excess of $4 billion, the plaintiffs sought to execute them against $1.75 billion in assets held by the Central Bank of Iran in a Citibank account in New York. In 2016, following years of litigation and lobbying, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of a law passed by Congress specifically allowing for the seizure of the Central Bank’s assets to be used for satisfaction of the plaintiffs’ judgments.

Amanda also represents servicemembers and their families in claims arising from harms perpetrated by the U.S. government, including illnesses caused by the contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune and hearing loss caused by 3M's defective Combat Arms Earplugs, the standard-issue ear protection used by the U.S. military from 2000 to 2015.

Amanda spent the first eight years of her professional career working for the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, where she focused on border security, trans-national crime, intelligence, and disaster response and recovery. Amanda's legislative and political experience gives her a unique understanding of the legislative process and the wide range of geopolitical and diplomatic variables that often impact her terrorism cases. Her broad network in Washington, D.C. and access to relevant policymakers allows her to stay informed of key events and legislative developments that influence her cases and shape the landscape of future litigation.
