Election Controversy Subject of New Books

Law School Professor Alan M. Dershowitz has decided to join the leagues of authors working on books about the 2000 presidential campaign with a book of his own.

Not even two months have passed since the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its historic ruling that lead to President Bush's victory, but already three books have been published about the tumultuous election. Publishers say many more are in the works.

With Supreme Injustice, scheduled to be published by Oxford University Press this spring, Dershowitz said he is trying to reach not just an academic audience, but the common voter as well.

"This book is designed to explain to [the] millions of Americans who deep in their guts feel that the Supreme Court was wrong, why they are right," Dershowitz said yesterday.

And the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law has worked under a tight deadline before.

He wrote Reasonable Doubts: The Criminal Justice System and the O.J. Simpson Case, in a mere two months.

Dershowitz said his new book attempts to give his readers a legal justification for an opinion they already hold.

"The book is for the interested and concerned readers around the country and the world," he said.
