This document is a Table of Contents for a book manuscript, dated April 2, 2012, with a House Oversight stamp. The text outlines an autobiography covering the author's life from Brooklyn to Yale, clerkships with Judge Bazelon and Justice Goldberg, and a legal career focused on the First Amendment, addressing topics such as the Pentagon Papers, Wikileaks, and pornography cases like 'Deep Throat' and 'I Am Curious Yellow'. Based on the specific clerkships and career trajectory described, the manuscript appears to be by Alan Dershowitz.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017438.jpg
This document appears to be a page from a memoir or manuscript (likely by Alan Dershowitz given the biographical details) describing the author's transition from a pure academic at Harvard to a practicing appellate lawyer. The shift was precipitated by financial need when his 10-year-old son, Elon, was diagnosed with brain cancer, requiring the author to borrow money from Judge Bazelon and subsequently take on paid legal cases. The text details his initial legal fees of $35/hour and his philosophy of balancing teaching with practice.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017166.jpg
The author, likely Alan Dershowitz, reflects on his early career at Harvard Law School, recounting his tenure process involving a critical article on law and psychiatry and his mentor Judge Bazelon. He details a salary negotiation that led to a universal raise for faculty, coined "the Dershowitz bump," and lists his prolific writing output and the diverse range of courses he has taught.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017164.jpg
This document appears to be a page from a memoir or manuscript (likely by Alan Dershowitz, implied by context) submitted as evidence in House Oversight proceedings. It details the narrator's early years at Harvard Law School, focusing on friction with Dean Erwin Griswold regarding the narrator's Jewish identity, kosher practices, and refusal to teach on Saturdays. The text also recounts an incident where the narrator declined an invitation to the restricted 'Club of Odd Volumes' offered by Judge Aldrich, leading to a confrontation with Dean Griswold about tenure implications.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017145.jpg
This document appears to be a page from a memoir or legal manuscript (likely by Alan Dershowitz, given the context of clerking for Judge Bazelon). It discusses a specific legal case (Miller v. US, 1963) involving a wallet theft of $14, focusing on the legal theory concerning 'flight' (fleeing the scene) as evidence of guilt. The author contrasts traditional legal views (Wigmore) with psychoanalytic perspectives (Freud) to argue that fleeing can be a neurotic reaction rather than proof of a crime. The page bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, indicating it was part of a document production for a congressional investigation.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017142.jpg
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.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017137.jpg
This document appears to be a page from a memoir (draft dated 2012) recounting the narrator's time clerking for Judge Bazelon in the early 1960s. It details the Judge's demanding nature regarding work hours, the narrator's success on the DC bar exam, the birth of his son Jamin, and the Judge's pessimistic reaction to the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. The narrator is likely Alan Dershowitz, given the biographical details (Yale Law, clerkship with Bazelon, son named Jamin).
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017133.jpg
This document is a page from a manuscript (Chapter 3) written by Alan (likely Dershowitz), dated April 2, 2012. It details the author's experience at Yale Law School around 1962, specifically focused on the fierce competition for Supreme Court clerkships and the specific biases of various Justices. The narrative highlights the author's conflict with Professor Fred Rodel over a men-only seminar location and his mentorship under Professor Alex Bickel.
