Program Description

Event Details

This lecture will examine the evolving role of the U.S. Supreme Court in American history. Get a better sense of how the court works, how it deals with (or fails to deal with) controversial issues, and how the "least dangerous branch" has secured its unique place in the American constitutional structure. Presented by James Coll, adjunct professor of American and Constitutional history at Nassau Community College and retired NYPD detective. All welcome!
