Nancy Gertner: From Advocate Attorney To Federal Judge

Here’s a question that gets to the heart of how our legal system works: Can a passionate civil rights advocate, an ardent feminist and high profile criminal defense lawyer who made no secret of her liberal views, become a fair and affective federal judge? Judge Nancy Gertner says the answer is yes.

Gertner spoke with Radio Boston's Anthony Brooks about her book, "In Defense of Women" in May.
