Summary
This document page appears to be an excerpt from a memoir or book manuscript (likely by Alan Dershowitz given the biographical details) labeled with a WC (word count) and a 2012 header date. It recounts the author's clerkship with Judge David Bazelon, discussing a specific legal case involving instructions on 'flight' (fleeing a crime scene) as evidence of guilt, citing Freud and Dostoevsky. The text highlights Bazelon's mentorship, his conflict with Judge Burger, and includes a tribute written by the author upon Bazelon's retirement in 1985.
