Bio: Matthew R. Lippman is the leading legal expert on the Nazi holocaust. His most recent work centers on the legal profession in Nazi Germany, the extradition of Nazi war criminals and on the Genocide Convention. He is also serving on the legal team that is representing Chechenya in a World Court suit seeking to enjoin the continuing commission of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. His areas of interest include human rights and international criminal law, constitutional law, and legal history of war crimes. He recently completed a series of ten articles which review the post-World War II trials of German industrialists, lawyers, doctors, concentration camp officials, diplomats and military leaders. Dr. Lippman is also one of the leading legal writers on genocide and the 1948 Convention On The Punishment And Prevention Of The Crime Of Genocide. He has been cited or excerpted in leading international law texts and in various texts on criminal procedure (for Miranda or search and seizure), as well as by the International Court of Justice and other international tribunals.
