Paul Finkelman, President William McKinley Distinguished Professor of Law and Public Policy at Albany Law School—in conjunction with the Government Law Center—hosted a two-day conference on April 5-6, 2007 celebrating the career of influential defense attorney and Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz.

Described by Newsweek as America's"most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most distinguished defenders of individual rights," Dershowitz is also a scholar, activist and educator. As a criminal defense lawyer, he has participated in some of the most high-profile cases of our time, including the O.J. Simpson trial, trials of the Jewish Defense League, and the Claus von Bülow case. He is the author of more than 24 works of fiction and nonfiction—including six best sellers. In his career he has addressed the topics of torture warrants, Middle East conflicts, Judaism, Israel, civil rights, civil liberties, the war on terror and the First Amendment.
