This semester, the Georgetown Center for the Constitution inaugurated a new series of talks at Georgetown Law on criminal justice beginning with a talk by Terry Hake, who went undercover to ferret out corruption in the Circuit Court of Cook County when I was a prosecutor there. His excellent book is called, Operation Greylord: The True Story of an Untrained Undercover Agent and America's Biggest Corruption Bust. It's a great read in which I make a small appearance near the end. Our upcoming talks are:
