Seton Hall Reports

Seton Hall Reports

Seton Hall report, also known as the Denbeaux study, refers to several studies, published beginning in 2006, about the detainees and United States government policy related to operations at the Guantánamo Bay detention camp; they are published by the Center for Policy and Research at Seton Hall University Law School and based on data maintained and released by the Department of Defense. The director of the Center, Mark P. Denbeaux, supervised law student teams in their analysis and preparation of the reports. The first study was Report on Guantanamo Detainees: A Profile of 517 Detainees through Analysis of Department of Defense Data (February 8, 2006).

By late 2009, Professor Denbeaux had supervised the preparation of fifteen studies on Guantanamo for the Center for Policy and Research. The studies have been cited in both houses of Congress, for instance, by the Senate Armed Services Committee, and by national and international press.

Denbeaux and his son, Joshua Denbeaux, were the lead names on the first and several succeeding studies. They have a law firm together and are the legal representatives for the Guantanamo detainees Rafiq Bin Bashir Bin Jalud Al Hami and Mohammed Abdul Rahman, both from Tunisia.

Famous quotes containing the words seton, hall and/or reports:

    But these Russians are too romantic—too exaltés; they give way to a morbid love of martyrdom; they think they can do no good to mankind unless they are uncomfortable.
    —H. Seton Merriman (1862–1903)

    In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.
    —Donald Hall (b. 1928)

    Journalism without a moral position is impossible. Every journalist is a moralist. It’s absolutely unavoidable. A journalist is someone who looks at the world and the way it works, someone who takes a close look at things every day and reports what she sees, someone who represents the world, the event, for others. She cannot do her work without judging what she sees.
    Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
