Dershowitz, Alan M. Abuse Excuse : Cop-Outs, Sob Stories, and Other Evasions of Responsibility
New York, NY, U.S.A. Aspen Publishers, Incorporated 1994 0316181358 / 9780316181358 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
According to renowned defense attorney and Harvard law professor Alan M. Dershowitz, "abuse excuses" are enabling people to get away with murder - literally. From the Menendez brothers to Lorena Bobbitt, more and more Americans accused of violent crimes are admitting to the charges, but arguing that they shouldn't be held legally responsible. The reason: they're victims - of an abusive parent, a violent spouse, a traumatic experience, ethnic hatred, society at large, or anything else - who struck back at a real or perceived oppressor. And they couldn't help themselves, they say. In this provocative and important collection of essays, Dershowitz reviews a wide range of recent cases - including those of O. J. Simpson, Tonya Harding, and Woody Allen - and argues that the current vogue in victim defenses is antithetical to the ideals of our constitutional democracy. For Dershowitz, the foundations of American society are individual responsibility and the rule of law. And people who claim to be above the law - whatever the excuse - are no more than vigilantes.

Dershowitz, Alan M. Contrary to Popular Opinion
New York, New York, U.S.A. Pharos Books 1992 0886877016 / 9780886877019 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Price inside dustcover: $22.95 - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - Tight spine - Bright pages - 398 pages - Previous owner's name label (small) in book front - on blank page - As an outspoken lawyer, law professor, bestselling author, and public personality extraordinaire, Alan M. Dershowitz has been a controversial and vocal critic of the status quo for more than two decades. Never afraid to tackle controversy or take on an unpopular case, Dershowitz has emerged as the nation's preeminent civil libertarian. While his list of clients, including Claus Von Bulow, Jim Bakker, Leona Helmsley, Michael Milken, and Mike Tyson may read like a who's-who of celebrity outcasts, Dershowitz has also devoted countless hours to uncelebrated legal work on behalf of victims of shoddy law and social injustice. As a political gadfly and enemy of anti-Semitism, he has challenged the Polish Catholic hierarchy on its own ground and publicly admonished former Soviet President Gorbachev to renounce Soviet anti-Semitism. He has denounced critics who hold democratic Israel to an unrealistically high standard of behavior while turning a blind eye towards the massive human rights violations of its hostile neighbors. He has blasted the appointments Reagan and Bush have made to the Supreme Court, calling the current chief justice an "enemy of liberty," and characterizing several recent appointees as "mediocrities in robes." In Contrary to Popular Opinion Dershowitz selects his most recent columns, articles and essays and adds original commentary to present an engaging and spirited discussion from a remarkable mind about the most pressing issues of our time. Readers of Dershowitz's previous bestsellers, The Best Defense, Reversal of Fortune, and Chutzpah, will delight to see that Contrary to Popular Opinion continues Dershowitz's style of studied audacity. No matter how sensitive or incendiary the subject, Dershowitz is never afraid to say what is on his mind and back it up with solid and surprising arguments. In Contrary to Popular Opinion Dershowitz continues his crusade against blatant and subtle examples of anti-Semitism; dissects the "political correctness" c

Dershowitz, Alan M. Supreme Injustice: How the High Court Hijacked Election 2000
Oxford Univ Pr 2001 0195148274 / 9780195148275 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or dustcover clippings. Number line: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Tight spine, bright pages. 275 pages. Synopsis Millions of Americans were baffled and outraged by the U.S. Supreme Court's role in deciding the presidential election of 2000 with its controversial ruling in Bush v. Gore. The Court had held a unique place in our system of checks and balances, seen as the embodiment of fairness and principle precisely because it was perceived to be above the political fray. How could it now issue a decision that reeked of partisan politics, and send to the White House a candidate who may have actually lost the election? In Supreme Injustice, best-selling author and legal expert Alan M. Dershowitz addresses these questions head-on, at last demystifying Bush v. Gore for those who are still angered by the court's decision but unclear about its meaning. Dershowitz--himself a former Supreme Court clerk--argues that in this case for the first time, the court's majority let its desire for a particular partisan outcome have priority over legal principles. As in his other bestselling books, Dershowitz clarifies complex legal issues, explaining concepts such as "equal protection" and "irreparable harm." Digging deeply into their earlier writings and rulings, Dershowitz proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the justices who gave George W. Bush the presidency contradicted their previous positions to do so. The most egregious ruling since the Dred Scott Decision, Bush v. Gore has shattered the image of the Supreme Court as a fair and impartial arbiter of important national issues. The resulting loss of the American people's respect, Dershowitz concludes, has severely compromised the Court's role in national affairs. And yet Dershowitz sees some benefit emerging from this constitutional crisis--if we understand its lessons and take action to prevent it from happening again.

Price inside dustcover: $22.95 - This is a story of Joe Campbell, a handsome and charismatic basketball star with the New York Knicks, known as the " White Knight," who is accused of raping a woman after she invites him up to her hotel room in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The athlete engages a prominent local attorney named Abe Ringel to defend him. From the initial facts of the case, Abe believes he has found an easy victory to stop what has been a recent losing streak in the courtroom. As the case unfolds, and the legal defense team performs it's own investigation, Abe's associates become concerned that Campbell is concealing facts that may show him to be guilty and dangerous. Abe disagrees. To so help sort through the issues, Abe calls upon his mentor, an aging lawyer and talmudic scholar named Haskel Levine. Together, these men explore the ethical dilemmas by a defense attorney who wants to win his case and serve justice at the same time.
