Alan M. Dershowitz is widely regarded as one of the world’s most successful criminal defense lawyers, having won 13 out of 15 high-profile murder cases in inimitable and provocative style. But Dershowitz also is one of the foremost experts in U.S. constitutional law; he will join SMU Dedman School of Law Professor Lackland H. Bloom, Jr., for a public conversation about their shared legal passion.

“A Dialogue on Constitutional Law and Interpretation,” a Roy R. Ray Endowed Lecture, moderated by SMU Associate Provost and Dedman Law Associate Professor Linda Eads, will also include a book signing for Dershowitz’s new autobiography, Taking the Stand, My Life in Law and Bloom’s new book, Do Great Cases Make Bad Law?.
