Document Summary

This document appears to be page 55 of a manuscript or memoir draft by Alan Dershowitz, dated April 2, 2012. It recounts his experiences as a law clerk in 1962-1963, specifically detailing a case involving a fraudulent lawyer named Morgan and Dershowitz's admiration for the appellate attorney Monroe Freedman. The text highlights a lesson Dershowitz learned from Judge Bazelon regarding the necessity of a solid legal basis for reversing convictions, ending with a parenthetical reference to Bush v. Gore.
