Join ALI CLE on January 17 for the webcast “What Would Justice Brandeis Say?” with ALI member Jeffrey Rosen of the National Constitution Center and George Washington University Law School. Professor Rosen will comment on recent key Supreme Court decisions and the current legal climate in light of Brandeis’s values and judicial opinions.
Professor Rosen is the author of the new biography, Louis D. Brandeis: American Prophet, published to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of Brandeis’ Supreme Court confirmation on June 1, 1916. In the book, Professor Rosen argues that Brandeis was the most farseeing constitutional philosopher of the twentieth century.
From the publisher:
In addition to writing the most famous article on the right to privacy, he also wrote the most important Supreme Court opinions about free speech, freedom from government surveillance, and freedom of thought and opinion. And as the leader of the American Zionist movement, he convinced Woodrow Wilson and the British government to recognize a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Combining narrative biography with a passionate argument for why Brandeis matters today, Rosen explores what Brandeis, the Jeffersonian prophet, can teach us about historic and contemporary questions involving the Constitution, monopoly, corporate and federal power, technology, privacy, free speech, and Zionism.
