The Jihad of Alan Dershowitz

Ali Khan, Washburn University

Abstract

If to dispute well is law's chiefest end, Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz has honed this ability to a stunning craft. In high-profile cases, such as O. J. Simpson, Doctor Dershowitz, a seasoned criminal law jurist, serves as a media-savvy lawyer determined to defend the guilty. Less well known, however, is that this advocate thrives on inventing unpopular exceptions to international law-a subject he normally does not teach. This article is based on an interview with Professor Dershowitz.
