Herbert Wechsler on the ALI and His Career

(Orin Kerr)

I've blogged here before about the legendary law professor Herbert Wechsler. Thanks to Adam White, I've recently learned that there's a long interview with Wechsler recorded in 1989 that is now on YouTube . Part 1 is below (2 hours), and part 2 is here (36 minutes). The interview is mostly focused on Wechsler's work with the American Law Institute, which is only one part of his fascinating career, but it's at least an interesting glimpse.
