Previous participants in the series have included the late Chief Justice of the United States William Rehnquist, civil rights lawyer Julius Chambers, Associate Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, historian John Hope Franklin, and former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno.
