An Evening with Scott Turow

On Friday, November 1, 2013, acclaimed author/attorney Scott Turow will entertain us with a talk about his new book, "Identical", followed by a reception with the author. Mr. Turow graduated from Amherst College and pursued his love of the written word when he received a Fellowship to the Stanford University Creative Writing Center.

Mr. Turow later became a Jones Lecturer at Stanford, serving until 1975, when he entered Harvard Law School. He received his Juris Doctor degree in 1978, and became an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Chicago, serving in that position until 1986.

After leaving the U.S. Attorney's office, Turow devoted more time to his writing, producing legal thrillers such as "The Burden of Proof", "Presumed Innocent", "Pleading Guilty", and "Personal Injuries", which Time magazine named as the Best Fiction Novel of 1999.
