💰 Financial Record

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.
