Background: |
|
Noted by the National Law Journal as one of the 100 Most
Influential Lawyers in America, Ogletree has made an international
reputation by taking a hard look at complex issues of law and by
working to secure the rights guaranteed by the Constitution for
everyone equally under the law. Armed with an arsenal of facts,
Ogletree presents and discusses the challenges that face our
justice system: its attempt to deliver equal treatment to all
citizens. In 1998, Ogletree was named the Jesse Climenko
Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. He earned an M.A. and B.A.
(with distinction) in political science from Stanford University,
where he was Phi Beta Kappa. He also holds a J.D. from Harvard Law
School. Ogletree began his career as a staff attorney in the
District of Columbia Public Defender Service and quickly rose
through the ranks, serving as training director, trial chief, and
deputy director of the Service before entering private practice in
1985 in the law firm of Jessamy, Fort & Ogletree.
In addition to the newly released All Deliberate Speed:
Reflections on the First Half-Century of Brown v. Board of
Education published by W.W. Norton & Company, Ogletree is the
co-author of the award-winning book, Beyond the Rodney King
Story: An Investigation of Police Conduct in Minority Communities,
and a contributor to many others volumes. He frequently
contributes to the Harvard Law Review, among other
publications.
