I gather you’re talking about legal academia.
I gather you’re talking about legal academia.
Yes, it’s a cesspool of jealousy. People in it lack courage.
But you’re no stranger to harsh criticism. People weren’t exactly nominating you for a justice award for getting O.J. Simpson and Claus von Bulow off the hook.
Some of the criticisms against me have been just. I’m a tough lawyer. But charging me with one of the most heinous crimes is on a different level. I’ve never been attacked like this. I don’t know any lawyer or professor who’s had these accusations waged against them. It’s worse than what Clarence Darrow had to face.
You retired from Harvard Law School a year ago. Did you expect so much excitement at this stage of your career?
This is an absolute shock. I’m living my little life here [in Florida, New York and Martha's Vineyard]. I lead a boring life. I’ve been married to the same woman for 28 years. She goes with me everywhere. People know that I won’t argue a case or give a speech unless my wife travels with me. This is not the profile of someone who screws around.
You take all this very, very personally, don’t you?
Wouldn’t you? I’ve got two grandchildren in college and they are reading this about me. This is the fight of my life.
Note: We have been in contact with Edwards and Cassell and hope to get their sides of the story soon.
