David Velleman, Professor Emeritus Of Philosophy at New York University, about his book Konrad Morgen: The Conscience of a Nazi Judge (Palgrave Macmillan 2015), which he co-authored with Herlinde Pauer-Studer.

In this interview, Anna Loutfi brings The Dickson Poon School of Law's Dr Hannah Quirk into conversation with Laura Nirider and Steven Drizin (Center on Wrongful Convictions, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law). Together, the group draws on its legal expertise to examine the weaknesses and failings of criminal justice systems in the US, UK and around the world.
