Yale Law '90: Michael O'Connor

Image
Over the next several months, I am devoting Wednesdays on the blog to profiling some of my Yale Law classmates. Everyone knows about Brett Kavanaugh, but there are so many other people who are fascinating and accomplished! If you have read Bryan Stevenson's excellent book Just Mercy , you have already come across the remarkable work of Michael O'Connor.
