These resources supplement the research presented in National Security Case Studies: Special Case-Management Challenges (7th ed. 2022). Some documents were filed before filings became widely available on the courts’ electronic filing system, and some documents were filed after preparation of the seventh edition of the case studies.

In addition, District Judge Anthony John Trenga, Eastern District of Virginia, published a very useful report on interviews with judges who have had experience presiding over national security cases: What Judges Say and Do in Deciding National Security Cases: The Example of the State Secrets Privilege(link is external), 9 Harv. Nat’l Sec. J. 1 (2018).
