News release from IPFW:
Supreme Court Author to Speak at Omnibus Lecture
Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne’s (IPFW) Omnibus Lecture Series presents news analyst and author Jeffrey Toobin, speaking on the topic of “Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court,” and his two latest books on that subject. The lecture is open to the public at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 24, in the Rhinehart Music Center. Free tickets are required.
A high-profile senior analyst for CNN and staff writer for The New Yorker, Jeffrey Toobin is one of the country’s most esteemed experts on politics, media, and the law. Toobin has provided analysis on some of the most provocative and important events of our time.
In his previous best-selling book, The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court, Toobin provides a unique look into the inner workings of the Supreme Court and its influence, as well as how upcoming elections will shape the court and, in turn, the nation.
Toobin’s most recent book, The Oath: The Obama White House and the Supreme Court, is a gripping insider’s account of the momentous ideological war between the John Roberts Supreme Court and the Obama administration.
Toobin’s list of renowned bestsellers includes Opening Arguments, about the Oliver North case; The Run of His Life, about the O.J. Simpson Trial; A Vast Conspiracy, about the impeachment of President Bill Clinton; and Too Close to Call, about the Bush-Gore presidential recount.
After a six-year tenure at ABC News, where he covered the country’s highest-profile cases and received an Emmy Award in 2000 for his coverage of the Elian Gonzales custody saga, Toobin joined CNN as a legal analyst in 2002 and he now serves as senior analyst for the network. A staff writer for The New Yorker since 1993, he has written articles on such subjects as the Bernie Madoff scandal, the case of Roman Polanski, and profiles of Justices Clarence Thomas, Stephen Breyer, John Paul Stevens, and Chief Justice John Roberts.
