The life and times of former U.S. Representative and New York University President John Brademas will be the subject of a multi-media lecture by Associate Justice Frank Sullivan Jr. sponsored by Ball State University on Wednesday, November 13, 2002 in the Supreme Court Courtroom.

Dr. Brademas represented the South Bend, Ind. area in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1959 to 1981. During his last two terms, he served as House Majority Whip.
