Justice Clarence Thomas has
become known as a quiet presence on the Supreme Court. But on Jan. 29, members
of the Harvard Law School community got to hear him speak—and he did so with
great humor and warmth.
As part of the Herbert W.
Vaughan Lecture series, Thomas participated in a conversation with HLS Dean
Martha Minow, after a day in which he met with faculty and students. In
introducing Thomas—a graduate of Yale Law School—Minow said that he had turned
down his admission to Harvard Law. She noted that he’d found it “too large, and
if I’m right, too conservative.” This elicited laughter from the audience
filling Milstein East, and a smile from Thomas—both of which recurred many
times over the course of the evening.
