Jack Lessenberry has been 
a writer and editor and 
political analyst for numerous 
publications, has hosted

University of Michigan. He is the author of 
T
 e People’s Lawyer: T
 e Life and Times of Frank 
J. Kelley, the Nation’s Longest-Serving Attorney 
General (Wayne State University Press, 2015)

Elizabeth Zerwekh is a pro-

T

with their dogs Ashley and Chet, in homes 
overf
 owing with books. 

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis once said the core 
of his judicial philosophy was “you have to think about the other 
fellow.” By that, he meant you have to be devoted to justice, but also 
have empathy for the human beings whose cases come before you.

T
 ose words exactly describe Avern Cohn’s career throughout 
seventy years as a lawyer and federal judge during a life devoted to 
the law, justice and his community.
