When President Gerald Ford nominated renowned lawyer and legal scholar Edward Levi to be United States Attorney General, Levi took over an office that had been marred by the corruption of Watergate scandal. Levi's efforts to bring transparency, independence and integrity back to the Justice Department restored public confidence at a pivotal stage in U.S. history, and in so doing, established a standard by which future Attorneys General would be measured. To mark the publication of the new book, "Restoring Justice: The Speeches of Attorney General Edward Levi" by Jack Fuller, a distinguished panel will join us to discuss his impact on the office and its evolution. Formal remarks by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder will be followed by a panel discussion featuring John Ashcroft, former AG and U.S. senator; Jack Fuller, author of "Restoring Justice: The Speeches of Attorney General Edward Levi" and former special assistant at the U.S. Department of Justice; and moderator Geoffrey Stone, the Edward H. Levi Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago Law School.
