Host Eric van der Vort, Ph.D., speaks with retired judge Richard A. Dollinger about his Judicial Notice Issue 18 article, which explores two strikingly different figures from the early 20th century: a powerful GOP machine boss from Buffalo who became a federal judge and a Russian immigrant from Rochester known as the “high priestess of anarchy.”
Though John R. Hazel and Emma Goldman never met, their lives intersected twice in the wake of President William McKinley’s assassination by Leon Czolgosz. Judge Dollinger unpacks their parallel stories during a pivotal era in America’s rise as a global power—an age of transformation in law, politics, and culture.
Buckle up—this episode is full of unexpected twists and turns! Part of our podcast series Chatting with the Authors of Judicial Notice.
