His most recent book, Jewish Justices of the Supreme Court: From Brandeis to Kagan, is the first history of the eight Jewish Justices. Dr. Dalin will discuss the Jewish background and legacies of the Jewish Justices with particular focus on the legacy of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer.
