other material documenting David Diamond's activities in local government in
Buffalo and Erie County, New York (1933-1953). The collection also includes
lecture notes, correspondence, and related material pertaining to the State

pertaining to New York State Supreme Court decisions made while Diamond served
on that body (ca. 1941).
The collection includes matters of personal interest to Diamond,
including correspondence with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson
(1933-1952), Max Lerner (1944-1957), and Judge Charles Sears regarding the
Nuremberg trials following World War II (1947). The collection includes legal
papers on a 1947-1949 case that involved alleged subversive teaching in the
Buffalo Public Schools. Diamond's own attitudes toward civil liberties are
contained in the transcript of a 1952 speech opposing the tactics of Senator
Joseph McCarthy.
The collection is divided into six series:
