Benjamin Cardozo, was an extraordinary Hispanic/Jewish judge, whose tenure on the Supreme Court still influences the laws we live by today. And yet, his story is unknown to most of the people who benefit from his work. Marrano Justice presents a riveting vision of the tensions and difficulties of race, freedom, love and dignity. Cardozo's story echoes many of the themes at play in our country today. 

Playwright Joel Levin, a resident of Cleveland, Ohio, is a successful lawyer, entrepreneur, author and academic. Since 1982, he has taught at Case Western Reserve, both in its Law School and its Department of Philosophy. Mr. Levin has authored three books - How Judges Reason; Revolution, Institutions and Law and Tort Wars as well as dozens of articles.
