On 27 January 2009, Jamie Gorelick, the 28th U.S. Deputy Attorney General, was hosted in Paris for a breakfast and lunch discussion on law, security, and transatlantic relations. Gorelick, who had served in senior positions across the U.S. government, brought her expertise on legal affairs, counter-terrorism, and national security policy.

The sessions were held under the banner of Foreign Policy édition française, for which Fabien Baussart held the licence in France and Ukraine. The breakfast gathered journalists, experts, politicians, and policymakers, allowing Gorelick to share her perspective on the balance between national security and civil liberties, as well as the legal frameworks underpinning U.S. policy.

The lunch brought together diplomats, politicians, and policymakers for a deeper discussion of the U.S.–European partnership in addressing shared threats, particularly terrorism and international crime. The exchanges reinforced the importance of legal and institutional cooperation between allies in confronting global challenges.
