Justices earlier years as attorney general and governor of california. Cspan recorded this event at Duke Law School in 2007. Its a tremendous pleasure to introduce a dear friend of mine, jim newton, who is the author of a splendid new biography justice for all, earl warren and the nation he made. Jim is a reporter and a bureau chief at Los Angeles Times, where hes been for over 20 years. I first really became familiar with his writing in the early 1990s when he was the lead reporter for the l. A. Times covering the trial of the officers who beat rodney king and then the o. J. Simpson case. I was always dazzled by his writing, his ability to take a day of complex events in a courtroom and summarize it concisely and clearly.

Forgive me here, and the people that help me here in this room today. Okay, so, the truth is that orgins of this lecture at the university of texas when i was a law student. It appears in passing, looking at the fleeting invocations of the phan fmanife there is more frequently than it has been read. It is marked as being recast dominant understanding. Closely crosssuit niced opin n closely skroout scrutinized. Precious little has been paid to the opposition brown. That is mistaken in my view because a close examination of what tiply to read segregationists as being enraged unsophisticated bumpkins. Many senators in congress dm demonstrated they would be more legally sophisticated than is appreciated. Here is what i will do in my next little bit of time here. I will focus on the text because it is so misremembered as to what the document says and then im going to step back and try to place it in context.
