In a manner unthinkable today, Justice William O. Douglas was a public advocate for the environment. Join us as Ninth Circuit Judge M. Margaret McKeown explores the politics and ethics of advocacy by a Supreme Court Justice, as discussed in her new book.Judge M. Margaret McKeown, author of Citizen Justice: The Environmental Legacy of William O. Douglas Public Advocate and Conservation Champion, will highlight U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas’s many contributions to the environment.
Supreme Court Justice, William O. Douglas was a giant in the legal world. He is often remembered for his four wives, as a potential vice-presidential nominee, as a target of impeachment proceedings, and for his tenure as the longest-serving justice from 1939 to 1975. His most enduring legacy is perhaps his advocacy for the environment.
Doors to The Nat open at 6 PM, with the talk beginning at 7 PM. Stop by the Museum store after the talk for a book signing with Judge McKeown. Citizen Justice books will be available for purchase onsite while supplies last. The talk will also be live via Zoom.
