Policy Talks @ the Ford School Presents:

September marks the 50th anniversary of President Gerald R. Ford’s pardon of former President Richard Nixon. Over the past five decades, that act has been both vilified and then lionized as a great act of patriotism.

Five decades later, what is the significance of that unique, historical pardon? PBS Books is delighted to share a discussion with four legal experts on the significance of the Nixon pardon, in an appearance recorded at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

The discussion features University of Michigan law professor and former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade, former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks, Nixon White House Counsel John Dean and University of Baltimore Law School professor Kimberly Wehle.
