Our Supreme Court series concludes with Earl Warren lecture

By |2023-09-25T13:33:55-04:00October 2, 2023|

Mentor Public Library concludes its series on the most important Supreme Court justices by spotlighting Earl Warren, the chief justice from 1953 to 1969. The library’s resident historian Dr. John Foster will discuss the life and judicial legacy of Warren at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 19, at the library’s Main Branch.

Holmes is one of the court’s great mavericks. He forged his own judicial patch – especially on questions of criminal justice – and caused the Nixon administration no end of annoyance. To learn more, sign up for this free talk at www.mentorpl.org or by calling Mentor Public Library at 440-255-8811 ext. 1.

Previous lectures in this series focused on Chief Justice John Marshal, The Great Dissenter, John Marshal Harlan, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. All can be watched in their entirety on our YouTube channel.

In addition to being a reference librarian, Foster has a doctorate degree in history. He has taught history at both high school and college levels. Previously, he has led series on the Battles of World War II, the Cold War, the American Revolution, The Vietnam Wars, and US Presidents of the 20th Century at the library.
