Stephanie L. Slater, law clerk to the Hon. John W. McClarty of the Tennessee Court of Appeals, will give a presentation and sign copies of her recently published book about Justice Edward Terry Sanford at the East Tennessee Historical Society at 6 p.m. tonight in downtown Knoxville. Sanford, born and raised in Knoxville, is one of only six Tennesseans to have served on the Supreme Court of the United States (1923-30) and the only one with undergraduate degrees from the University of Tennessee. "Edward Terry Sanford: A Tennessean on the US Supreme Court" was released this summer from the University of Tennessee Press.
