Title: With All Deliberate Speed: The Life of Philip Elman, an Oral History Memoir
Abstract: Philip Elman was responsible, in the Solicitor General's Office of the Department of Justice, for reviewing hundreds of cases involving civil rights, civil liberties and economic justice. He was a law clerk to Justice Frankfurter during the Second World War and then a lawyer in the Solicitor General's office for seventeen years, a principal draftsperson of the government's briefs in the Brown cases. He later served as Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission, where he played a major role in the rebirth of the consumer movement and in the antismoking movement. This book presents a first-hand account of legal education, clerkship and government lawyering over a fifty year period, especially an account of events within the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission; and a secondary historical interpretation of events.
