One of the most visible legal commentators in American media, Dershowitz has been called “the nation’s most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer,” one of its “most distinguished defenders of individual rights,” “the best-known criminal lawyer in the world” and “the top lawyer of last resort.” The Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law Emeritus at Harvard Law School has argued hundreds of appeals in courts throughout the nation and continues to consult actively on criminal and civil liberty cases, devoting half of his practice to pro bono cases and causes.
