The Great Dissenter: The Story of John Marshall Harlan, America's Judicial Hero is a new book exploring the life and legacy of a towering but sometimes forgotten jurist. Harlan, who served over 30 years on America's highest court, earned a reputation for being a champion of civil liberties -- notably, he was the lone dissenter in the Civil Rights Cases and Plessy v. Ferguson.
Author Peter Canellos joins us to discuss his new book and Justice Harlan's legacy.
Featuring:
Prof. Josh Blackman, Professor of Law, South Texas College of Law Houston
Peter S. Canellos, Managing Editor, Politico
Moderator: Hon. Victor Wolski, Senior Judge, U.S. Court of Federal Claims
