Review:
Alan Dershowitz, arguably one of the foremost legal thinkers of our time, gives an eye-opening account of the O.J. Simpson case and examines the larger issues of race, money, media, and gender that shape the criminal justice system in America.
About the Author:
Alan M. Dershowitz is the bestselling author of Chutzpah, Reversal of Fortune, The Best Defense, and many other books. He was first in his class at Yale Law School, and was editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal. After clerking for Judge David Bazelton and Justice Arthur Goldberg, he was appointed to the Harvard Law faculty, where he became a full professor at age twenty-eight, the youngest in the school's history. Newsweek has described him as "the nation's most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most distinguished defenders of individual rights." Professor Dershowitz has served on the National Board of Directors of the American Civil Liberties Union and as consultant for various foundations and presidential commissions. His clients have included Claus von Bulow, Patricia Hearst, Senator Mike Gravel, Harry Reems, Anatoly Scharansky, F. Lee Bailey, William Kuntzler, and several death row inmates. He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Simpson case as a backdrop, the famous defense lawyer examines the American criminal justice system, analyzing its strengths and weaknesses-Here is the first word, though certainly not the last, from a lawyer involved in the O. J. Simpson case. Dershowitz, whose job was to handle the appeal for the case should it have been necessary, is also one of the foremost (and most prolific) writers about the American legal system. He states in his introduction that this book was not written to change anyone's mind, but rather to explain how, under our criminal justice system, the jury could have properly reached a verdict that millions of people found untenable. Still, one can't help but believe that budging public opinion was a teeny part of Dershowitz's agenda. And despite his claim that he wants primarily to look at the larger issues that surround the case, Dershowitz is not shy about explaining the strengths of the defense case, while dismissing prosecution evidence and theories, often a bit too quickly; in particular, he leaves unanswered many questions about blood evidence and DNA. Dershowitz also shares his disparaging mail (much of it from fellow Jews) and goes after Marcia Clark, who, he claims, supported Detective Fuhrman even after she knew about his racism. No matter what side of the verdict readers come out on, they will find plenty of provocative stuff in these pages. Just when you wanted to forget about the Simpson case, Dershowitz brings up all sorts of new issues to ponder."- Ilene Cooper. Seller Inventory # 014254
