Here’s a notice of an upcoming course being offered this month by the Scarsdale Adult School:
The Honorable Carole Princer Levy (ret.) joins Scarsdale Adult School this semester to lead “Trials of the Century . . . Plus One,” a three-week course beginning April 17.
The course explores the historical and social context of landmark 20th-century judicial trials including the Scopes trial, Roe v. Wade, the trial of Leo Franks, the trial of Sacco and Vanzetti, and Brown v. Board of Education.
Princer will also revisit the 19th-century’s Marbury v. Madison, the first U.S. Supreme Court decision in which the court exercised the power of judicial review.
Cost of the course is $90 and it will meet from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday evenings at Scarsdale High School. Register at www.ScarsdaleAdultSchool.org.
