Siegel DESCRIPTION:Seminars for Adult Jewish Enrichment (SAJE) Presents: In _Judgment and Mercy_\n**:** _The Turbulent Life and Times of the Judge Who Condemned the Rosenbergs_\n\, **Martin J. Siegel** offers an insightful and compelling biography of Irving\nRobert Kaufman\, the judge infamous for condemning Julius and Ethel Rosenberg\nto death for atomic espionage.\n ** **\nAbsorbingly told\, _Judgment and Mercy_ brings to life a complex man by turns\ntyrannical and warm\, paranoid and altruistic\, while revealing intramural\nJewish battles over assimilation\, class\, and patriotism. Siegel\, who served as\nKaufman’s last law clerk\, traces the evolution of American law and politics in\nthe twentieth century and shows how a judge unable to summon mercy for the\nRosenbergs nonetheless helped expand freedom for all.\nRecently nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award: John Leonard\nPrize for best first book in any genre. \n **Martin J. Siegel** practices and teaches law in Houston. After clerking\nfor Judge Kaufman\, he served as an Assistant US Attorney in Manhattan and on\nthe staff of the US Senate Judiciary Committee. His writing has been published\nin the _New York Times_ \, the _Los Angeles Times_ \, the _Houston Chronicle_ \,\nand legal journals. \nMr. Siegel will be joined in conversation by Judge Michelle Appel. Judge Appel\nobtained her Juris Doctorate law degree from the University of Detroit. She\nworked at a private law firm for twenty years and served as an Oakland County\nCommissioner before being elected judge to the 45B District Court in Oak Park\nin 2003.\n ** _SAJE is endowed by a generous gift from Cis Maisel and supported by Carol\n& Ronald P.
