Abstract

From the video archives of the Cornell Law School Heritage Project. The interviewer-videographer is Thomas R. Bruce. This video covers Rudolf Schlesinger's reflections on the distinctive features that held him at Cornell Law School, changes in the composition of the student body and legal education generally, and his approach to comparative law. (Duration 35:24) The initial phase of this project was sponsored by a generous grant from the law firm of Sutherland Asbill and Brennan LLP.
