The Friends of the Greensboro Public Library, in partnership with the Greensboro Jewish Federation, presents “A Look Inside the Supreme Court: The View from Justice Brennan’s Life.” The event is from 2 to 3 p.m. on May 12, 2011, at the Central Library, 219 N. Church St., Greensboro.
The featured speaker will be Stephen Wermiel, author of JUSTICE BRENNAN: LIBERAL CHAMPION, published in October by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
From Mr. Wermiel’s website: JUSTICE BRENNAN: LIBERAL CHAMPION is the definitive account of the life of the justice whose 34-year-tenure helped shape the constitutional landscape and define the role of the Supreme Court for decades to come. The book is based in large measure on more than 60 hours of taperecorded interviews Justice Brennan did between 1986 and 1990 with co-author Stephen Wermiel and on unprecedented access to Brennan’s case files and correspondence.
