9th Circuit Cowboy is the story of Judge Harry Pregerson who, for almost half a century, served on California’s famously liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and was known for placing his personal scruples over what he discounted as abstract legalities. “I looked upon being a judge,” he said, “as a chance to help as many people as I could through the law.”
Post film screening, join a discussion about Judge Pregerson’s life, his commitment to public service, how that commitment shaped his judicial philosophy, and the broader importance of the public interest/service aspect to the role of the judiciary.
