Once again, the NJCWRT presents its Civil War Legal Presentation by three prestigious attorneys, all of whom are NJCWRT members. With the Civil War raging on, with thousands of casualties and vast destruction of property, attempts were made to achieve peace and end the conflict. This program will raise the issues as presented by both sides:
1. The Legal and Constitional Context
Maurice Lefkort has been studying, writing about and lecturing on the Civil War and legal history for over forty years. Maurice practices corporate law at a major New York law firm where he advises clients on complex transactions that transform businesses. He is married, with two children, and resides in New Jersey.
