His book, “From Jim Crow to Civil Rights: The Supreme Court and the Struggle for Racial Equality” was described by a Bancroft juror as not only their best account of Brown, its antecedents and consequences, but also goes well beyond that important story to make a larger set of arguments about the role of the Supreme Court in helping to bring about social change. Mr. Klarman teaches criminal law, constitutional law, theory, history. He has received other prestigious awards including the first Roger and Madeleine Traynor Faculty Achievement Award for Excellence in Legal Scholarship. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Speaker News Read about this speaker in the news View news stories about topics related to this speaker's research and teaching |
