Charles Ogletree

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles Ogletree is a law professor at Harvard Law School and the author of numerous books on legal topics. He was named one of America’s 100 Most Influential Lawyers by the National Law Journal in 2000 and one of the 100 Most Influential Blacks in America by Savoy Magazine in 2003.[1] In addition, he has appeared as a moderator in multiple television debates for the Public Broadcasting Service[2] and has authored opinion pieces on the state of race in the United States for major publications.[3]

[edit] Criticism

Ogletree plagiarized "a spot" of Yale scholar Jack M. Balkin's book, What Brown v. Board of Education Should Have Said, in Ogletree's All Deliberate Speed: Reflections on the First Half-Century of Brown v. Board of Education. The error arose from the "pressure of meeting a deadline" and a lack of oversight of his assistants. [1][4]
