About the Production

One of the Law School's featured Alumni Weekend 2002 presentations, "Presidential Power in Times of Crisis: The Steel Seizure Case Revisited," has been captured for television in a new production by Stanford University and KTEH in association with KQED. Featuring Chief Justice William Rehnquist '52 (AB '48, AM '48), Justice Sandra Day O'Connor '52 (AB '50), and Professor of Law and President Emeritus Gerhard Casper on the bench, and Charles Koob '69 and Karen Stevenson '98 as the advocates, the program offers an unscripted, unrehearsed retrial of the landmark case that examined the scope of presidential power during national emergencies.

The program will air on KTEH (Channel 54, cable Channel 10) at 10:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 13, 2003.

This production was made possible through a generous grant from The Folger Levin & Kahn Philanthropic Fund.
