Dershowitz* I have been writing about the law and justice for half a century. My first published law review piece appeared in 1960 as a student note in the Yale Law Journal.1 Since that time, I have published nearly thirty books and hundreds of articles covering a wide range of legal, philosophical, historical, psychological, biblical, military, educational, and political issues. Until I listened to the excellent papers presented at this conference on my work, I had never realized-at least on a conscious level-that a single, underlying theme, with multiple variations, runs through nearly all of my writings. As a response to those papers, I will seek to articulate that theme, show how it pervades my writing and teaching, identify some of its roots in the teachings of my own mentors, try to defend its fundamental correctness, and point to several weaknesses and limitations that remain to be considered before I complete my life's work.

Johnson Leadership Fellowship 74 David M. Rubenstein Fellowship 90 Wexner Israel Fellowship 114 Zuckerman Fellowship 126 Index of Fellows 147 - 148 Letter from the CPL Leadership Team At its core, the raison d’être of the Center for Public Leadership (CPL) is to provide the tools necessary for the next generation of ardent public servants to assume the mantle of responsible leadership. Fellows of CPL, past and present, have distinguished themselves as being among the most promising of their generation—having the capacity to assume this mantle—and are to be commended. Our mission during their time at CPL is to transform latent capacity into future action by providing the knowledge, experiences, and hands-on leadership learning enabling them to operate and contribute on stages both national and international. As a class you will collectively weave a broad tapestry of backgrounds—cultural, educational, economic, religious, and geo- political. Each of you will be greatly enriched by these experiences and the opportunity to learn from one another—and CPL will learn and grow with you. We are grateful to the nine donors highlighted herein who recognize this tapestry and provide robust fellowships through our Center at the Kennedy School, allowing each fellow to go forward in making the world a better place.
