The Rule of Law Oral History Project - Incite at Columbia University

In the histories and narratives gathered by the Rule of Law Oral History Project, the intellectual and legal connection between these different arenas of work concerns the degradation of the right of habeas corpus and the fundamental lack of due process rights available to prisoners in United States jails and military prisons.

The oral history project archive contains conversations with a wide variety of people involved with the legal field. 

Other major historical themes documented in our interviews include perspectives on the legal, political, and social histories of civil and human rights; the personal experiences of individuals, families, and advocates in conflict with criminal or military justice systems; and the legal, political, and moral responses of individuals and movements that fight to preserve the rule of law in the contemporary United States.
