INTROAlan Dershowitz is a renowned Harvard Law School professor, top criminal defense lawyer, and best-selling author of Chutzpah: Candid Reflections on Being Jewish in America and of Reversal of Fortune: Inside the von Bulov Case. His most recent book is Reasonable Doubts: The O.J. Simpson Case and the Criminal Justice System.
Throughout his career, Professor Dershowitz has been willing to defend high-profile clients involved in seemingly unwinnable cases. Some of his well-known clients have included kidnap victim-turned terrorist Patty Hearst, junk bond king Michael Milken, televangelist Jimmy Bakker, and heavy-weight boxing champion Mike Tyson. And, of course, Professor Dershowitz was also a member of the O.J. Simpson "Dream Team" defense.
On this audio program, Alan Dershowitz uses examples from the O.J. Simpson case in discussing America's criminal justice system and the social and cultural forces that shape it---such as gender, race, the media, money, and celebrity.
This program was recorded May 23, 1996 at the Smithsonian
Institution.
