Summary
This document appears to be a page from a memoir (likely Alan Dershowitz's, based on the clerkship history) dated April 2012. It recounts the author's experiences clerking for the Supreme Court in 1963, including an interview with Justice Harlan regarding anti-Semitic hiring practices on Wall Street. It also details the author disobeying Chief Justice Earl Warren's order to avoid the March on Washington, choosing instead to attend MLK's 'I Have a Dream' speech with Judge Bazelon.
