Alan Dershowitz, a world renowned lawyer, jurist and political commentator, has spent most of his career at Harvard Law School where in 1967, at the age of 28, he became the youngest full professor of law in its history. Dershowitz is known for his involvement in several high-profile legal cases and as an outspoken commentator on the Arab-Israeli conflict. He has been described by Newsweek as America’s “most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most distinguished defenders of individual rights.” A political liberal, he is the author of a number of books about politics and law including “Chutzpah,” “The Case for Israel” and “The Case for Peace.”
