Joshua M. Greene

What happens when the legal establishment becomes a tool in the hands of a dictatorial government? This eye-opening talk by author-filmmaker Joshua M. Greene reveals the consequences of appointing judges based not on their wisdom but on their allegiance to the head of state.
Topics to be discussed include:

• How the imprimatur of law assured Hitler's success;
• How distinguished jurists became complicit in genocide
• Our power as individuals to influence historic events
