Free public lecture and book signing: Glenn C. Altschuler – April 4th, 2017
The Cornell Club of Greater Buffalo is pleased to present a free public lecture and book signing:
Glenn C. Altschuler

Ten Great American Trials: Lessons in Advocacy

The Office of Hodgson Russ LLP
The Guaranty Building | 140 Pearl Street | Buffalo, NY 14202
Advanced registration required: http://bit.ly/2lCkaUm
Books will be available for sale at the talk, courtesy of Talking Leaves Books.
Altschuler’s book, published in 2016 by the American bar Association and co-written with former Cornell law professor Faust Rossi, Ten Great American Trials, provides accounts of some of the most highly publicized and fascinating court cases of the twentieth century. The book also assesses the impact of cultural, social, and political values on the proceedings and the outcomes. The cases, several of which have been dubbed ‘the crime of the century’, were selected because they are dramatic, suspenseful, emotional, intellectually powerful, and have become part of American culture.
Glenn Altschuler is the Thomas and Dorothy Litwin Professor of American Studies at Cornell University. He received his PhD in American history from Cornell in 1976 and has been an administrator and teacher at Cornell since 1981. He is the author or coauthor of 11 books and more than one thousand essays and reviews. An animating force in the program in American studies at Cornell, Altschuler has won several awards for teaching and undergraduate advising. His work has been featured in the New York Times, National Public Radio, and The Boston Globe.
