Judge Calabresi’s Oral History Book Hits on Nomination, Judicial Independence and ‘The Sopranos’ -- 
The National Law Journal lays out eight interesting tidbits from the part of the book focused on Judge Guido Calabresi’s judicial career.

  • For five years, law professor Norman Silber sat down with Judge Guido Calabresi in a New Haven recording studio once a week as part of Silber’s oral history project on the life of the federal appeals court judge.
  • Published this January, “Outside In: The Oral History of Guido Calabresi” checks in at over 400 pages, covering everything from Calabresi fleeing Italy as a child with his anti-fascist parents before WWII to his nearly 30-year career on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
