For Cooper On Demand, Preet Bharara introduces his 2017 talk at the Great Hall

Our new weekly series, The Cooper Union On Demand, continues with Preet Bharara, public intellectual and former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. He was (in)famously fired from that position by President Trump in 2017. A month later, he made his first public appearance on the Great Hall stage.



The Cooper Union is honored that, in this time of sheltering in place, Mr. Bharara has added a short introduction to the re-broadcast of his 2017 talk. See it here.



You can hear Mr. Bharara interview guests about subjects related to law and justice on his weekly podcast Stay Tuned with Preet.

The Cooper Union on Demand is a weekly series of new content and previously-presented events to reinforce our mission of serving as a destination where the issues, happenings, and innovations that shape our lives are examined and shared.

March 30: Series premier with Daniel Arsham (rebroadcast from March 6, 2020)
