Preet Bharara reflects on the impact of the 9/11 attacks on law enforcement practices from his unique vantage point as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York (2009–2017). An advocate for trying 9/11 terrorists in civil courts rather than military commissions, Bharara discusses the challenges of prosecuting terrorism and his role in bringing senior al-Qaeda officials to justice.
