Alan Dershowitz
All speech should be presumed to be protected by the Constitution, and a heavy burden should be placed on those who would censor to demonstrate with relative certainty that the speech at issue, if not censored, would lead to irremediable and immediate serious harm.
Alan Dershowitz
A state has the right to prohibit the killing of dogs and bears whether for film or for other purposes.
Alan Dershowitz
This is not about celebrity justice, this is about the rights of the children.
Alan Dershowitz
In our criminal justice system, we say it's better for 10 guilty people to go free than for even one innocent person to be wrongly convicted.
Alan Dershowitz
