‘The Architect of the Whole Plan’: Harvard Law Graduate Ken Chesebro’s Path to Jan. 6
Fifteen German jurists concluded a six day visit to Harvard yesterday. The group, made up of judges and law professors, is on an American Military Government-sponsored tour to study legal education and the legal structure of the United States.
