Lecture: The Constitutional Convention of 1787.

From the NYPL Public Programs Brochure for Winter/Spring, 1988:

Named by Time magazine as one of the country's ten best law professors, Laurence H. Tribe has taught at Harvard Law School since the age of twenty-seven and holds Harvard's only chair in Constitutional Law. According to The American Lawyer, he "probably knows the mind of the Supreme Court better than any other advocate now appearing before it." Tribe's treatise American Constitutional Law received the Coif Award in 1980 for the most outstanding legal writing in the nation, and it is widely regarded as the leading modern work on the subject. Tribe has written thirteen books and over ninety articles, and he is a frequent expert witness before Congress. He has also won many important Supreme Court victories, prompting The National Law Journal to say that Tribe has compiled a better record there "than any other attorney after the U.S. Solicitor General." His most recent book, God Save This Honorable Court, shows how the choice of Supreme Court Justices changes our lives and the destiny of our nation and argues for fuller involvement by the Senate and by the American people in the process of selection.
