Peter Irons on campus! (9/21, 4pm, EW120)

We are proud to have Supreme Court historian Peter Irons on campus to speak about his new book, War Powers : How the Imperial Presidency Hijacked the Constitution. Irons, a professor at the University of California at San Diego, has written numerous books on the Supreme Court and constitutional litigation (including A People's History of the Supreme Court and Justice at War, about the Japanese internment cases), and is a practicing civil rights and civil liberties attorney who played a prominent role in reversing the 1940s criminal convictions of Fred Korematsu and other Japanese Americans who challenged the WWII curfew and internment orders.
