YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In Georgetown Law professor Brad Snyder's new book on Felix Frankfurter, the cover notes report: "The conventional wisdom about Felix Frankfurter―Harvard law professor and Supreme Court justice―is that he struggled to fill the seat once held by Oliver Wendell Holmes." Professor Snyder's biography of Frankfurter, titled "Democratic Justice," notes that scholars have portrayed him as a judicial failure, a liberal lawyer turned conservative justice and the Warren Court's principal villain. And yet, according to the author, none of these characterizations ring true. Brad Snyder uses 700 pages to examine Justice Frankfurter's life.
