OU College of Liberal Studies Feaver-MacMinn Seminar
Spring 2012 Seminar
The Supreme Court in the Age of Holmes & Brandeis
February 22-26, 2012
Synopis of course
“The Legacy of Holmes and Brandeis”
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., went onto the Supreme Court in 1902 and served thirty years. Louis D. Brandeis took his seat in 1916, and retired in 1939. In those four decades, and especially in the terms they served together, they laid the basis for some of the great jurisprudential debates of the twentieth century. Separately and together they addressed the proper role of judges, the defense of civil liber- ties, the meaning of speech in a free society, and other questions that still occupy us today.
The seminar has no prerequisites.
