In 1949\, for example\, Iva Toguri D’Aquino was tried for treason in San Francisco—as the infamous “Tokyo Rose.” Years later\, she was pardoned. \nHalf a century later\, Dr. Wen Ho Lee\, a scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory\, was accused of stealing U.S. nuclear secrets for China. Although he eventually pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor\, the sentencing judge apologized to him on behalf of the United States. \nAnd more recently\, the U.S. Government’s “China Initiative” targeted academics and scientists\, bringing indictments with great fanfare\, only to see many of the charges dropped\, dismissed\, or drastically reduced. \nThe Third Annual Fall Symposium of the Center on Asian Americans and the Law at Fordham Law School will explore issues presented by the Government’s prosecution over the years of Asian Americans for espionage and treason. We will first examine several historic cases and follow with a panel discussion on the Government’s more recent actions.

This documentary traces the efforts of Filipino-American WWII veterans as they fought for redress and recognition in the courts and in Congress. \nAfter the screening\, professor Thomas Lee\, a U.S. Navy veteran\, will moderate a discussion with Tammy Botkin\, the film’s director\, producer\, and writer; and Captain Florencio Yuzon\, deputy assistant judge advocate general of the U.S. Navy\, who comes from a Filipino-American military family.

Within days\, the police arrested Chol Soo Lee\, a 20-year-old Korean immigrant. He was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. In prison\, he killed a white gang member in a fight and was given the death penalty. A Korean American newspaper reporter challenged the fairness of his conviction and sentence in an article titled “The Alice in Chinatown Murder Case\,” helping to set off a pan-Asian American grassroots movement to free Chol Soo Lee. \nPlease join us for the APALSA’s reenactment of the Chol Soo Lee story\, followed by an expert panel discussion and reception. \nAgenda\n6 – 7:15 p.m.: Reenactment of Chol Soo Lee Case\n7:15 – 7:45 p.m.: Panel discussion\n7:45 p.m.: Cocktail reception URL:https://now.fordham.edu/event/alice-in-chinatown-chol-soo-lees-fight-for-freedom-apalsa-reenactment/ LOCATION:1-03 Moore Trial Court Room\, 150 West 62nd Street\, New York\, NY\, 10023\, United States CATEGORIES:Lectures,Receptions ORGANIZER;CN="Center on Asian Americans and the Law":MAILTO:asianamericanlaw@fordham.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230413T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230413T203000 DTSTAMP:20250513T023027 CREATED:20230328T193403Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230328T193403Z UID:10005059-1681408800-1681417800@now.fordham.edu SUMMARY:Professionalism and Career Advice Panel Discussion DESCRIPTION:Interested in the legal profession?
