Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Issues Public Advocacy and Standing to Sue

Recent revelations about the size and scope of government foreign surveillance efforts have prompted some to criticise the level of scrutiny that the courts -- established under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) -- currently provide with respect to the governments applications to engage in such surveillance. This book focuses on introducing a public advocate into the FISA's courts; foreign surveillance and the future of standing to sue post-clapper; and the decision of the supreme court of the United States in the case of Clapper v. Amnesty International et al.
