He served as a member of Donald Trump’s legal defense team during the impeachment trials in 2020 and 2021. Dershowitz was also an appellate adviser on the O.J. Simpson murder trial and a member of the legal defense team for Harvey Weinstein. In 2006, during the Jeffrey Epstein’s trial, Alan Dershowitz helped to negotiate a 2006 non-prosecution agreement on Epstein’s behalf. All of these trials brought him worldwide fame, but an extremely controversial reputation as well.

This discussion will be regarding the human and civil rights in today’s turbulent world, the international criminal order, relationship between Israel and Palestine, his fascinating career, and many other things.
