Kaiser• In Chechovian drama, chest pains are followed by heart at­ tacks, coughs by consumption, life insurance policies by murders, telephone rings by dramatic messages. In real life, most chest pains are indigestion, coughs are colds, insurance policies are followed by years of premium payments, and tel­ ephone calls are from marketing services. 1 With these words, the never-reticent Alan Dershowitz throws cold water on the legal storytelling movement. According to Der­ showitz, "life is not a dramatic narrative."2 Indeed, such was the title of his article criticizing legal storytelling.3 And the problem with lawyers, he thinks, is not that they do not make a sufficient effort to tell a legal story.

  • Jeffrey Toobin Staff Writer, the New Yorker; Chief Legal Analyst, CNN
    Jeffrey Toobin Staff Writer, The New Yorker; Chief Legal Analyst, CNN September 26, 2019 House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet “The Federal Judiciary in the 21st Century: Ensuring the Public’s Right of Access to the Courts” Thank you for the opportunity to testify, Mr. Chairman. My name is Jeffrey Toobin. I am a staff writer at the New Yorker magazine and the chief legal analyst at CNN. My views today are my own. I graduated from law school in 1986. After a judicial clerkship, I had the honor of being a federal prosecutor for six years – first with the Office of Independent Counsel and then as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Eastern District of New York. There is no greater privilege for a lawyer than to appear in a courtroom representing the United States. I joined the New Yorker in 1993 and CNN in 2002. I am working on my eighth book, about the Mueller investigation. Two of my books – The Nine and The Oath – have been about the United States Supreme Court, which I have covered as a journalist for more than twenty years. I’ve also had the opportunity to cover many high-profile trials – including those of O.J. Simpson, Timothy McVeigh, Martha Stewart, and Michael Skakel. Some were televised. Some were not. I should note that in the course of my work in the federal courts, I have had occasion to try to rely on the PACER system many times. Frankly, PACER is a disaster, and I’d like to express my appreciation in particular to Congressman Collins, who has been such a leader in the effort to improve PACER.

  • New York Law Journal
    Originally published in New York Law Journal August 28, 2020 Book Review: 'True Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Investigation of Donald Trump' By Joel Cohen and Dale J. Degenshein If you’re looking for a book that discloses dirty little secrets, this isn’t it. I doubt, by the way, that such a book without the baggage of a Trump hater or lover will come along anyway. “True Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Investigation of Donald Trump,” Jeffrey Toobin, Doubleday, 2020, 456 pages ooking back, as outsiders, both the criminal investigation and impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump were foreordained and doomed from the start, weren’t L they? Think about it. Still, what about the principals? What and when did they know? Didn’t Special Counsel Robert Mueller know the minute his “law man”—former deputy solicitor general Michael Dreeben— told him, early in the game, that official Justice Department policy unambiguously forbade the Justice Department (Mueller was indeed “employed” by the Justice Department) from indicting a sitting president? Wasn’t Mueller, after all, all but fastidious in following the department’s rules of engagement? And didn’t the adroit politico that Speaker Nancy Pelosi is know right away that a McConnell- led Senate would never, especially with the strong economy going for him at the time, convict a president who was then the very lifeblood of the Republican Party—a figure, consistent with his own braggadocio, who could “stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and not lose voters”? After all, wasn’t just about everything that Trump had done been done in plain sight? And if it wasn’t, he seemed almost delighted to admit what he did to the world.

  • Chapter One: Postwar Resentment and the Invention of Middle America 10
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________ Timothy Melley, Director ________________________________________ C. Barry Chabot, Reader ________________________________________ Whitney Womack Smith, Reader ________________________________________ Marguerite S. Shaffer, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT TALES FROM THE SILENT MAJORITY: CONSERVATIVE POPULISM AND THE INVENTION OF MIDDLE AMERICA by Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff In this dissertation I show how the conservative movement lured the white working class out of the Democratic New Deal Coalition and into the Republican Majority. I argue that this political transformation was accomplished in part by what I call the "invention" of Middle America. Using such cultural representations as mainstream print media, literature, and film, conservatives successfully exploited what came to be known as the Social Issue and constructed "Liberalism" as effeminate, impractical, and elitist. Chapter One charts the rise of conservative populism and Middle America against the backdrop of 1960s social upheaval. I stress the importance of backlash and resentment to Richard Nixon's ascendancy to the Presidency, describe strategies employed by the conservative movement to win majority status for the GOP, and explore the conflict between this goal and the will to ideological purity. In Chapter Two I read Rabbit Redux as John Updike's attempt to model the racial education of a conservative Middle American, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, in "teach-in" scenes that reflect the conflict between the social conservative and Eastern Liberal within the author's psyche. I conclude that this conflict undermines the project and, despite laudable intentions, Updike perpetuates caricatures of the Left and hastens Middle America's rejection of Liberalism.

SEBELIUS Steven Lubet∗ Clare Diegel∗∗ I. INTRODUCTION The Supreme Court litigation over the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”) came to a conclusion in the first half of 2012, characterized by a series of surprises. The first surprise occurred when the Court scheduled the case for six hours of oral argument, spread over three days. Such an expanded argument was unprecedented in modern times, leading to much speculation that the issues would be more troublesome for the Court than many observers had previously assumed. Still, even veteran court watchers were further shocked by the combative tone of the oral argument itself, when Justices Scalia, Alito, Kennedy, and Roberts seemed to gang up on Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, who defended the PPACA on behalf of the government.

  • True Crimes and Misdemeanors: the Investigation of Donald Trump by Jeffrey Toobin: a Review and a Bit More
    True Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Investigation of Donald Trump by Jeffrey Toobin: A Review and a bit more. When I chose this book for review, I was confident that it might well be the standard, almost definitive account of the drama we have recently been through, particularly the Robert Mueller investigations of the possible cooperation of the Trump presidential campaign with the Russian efforts to influence that election in his favor and of Trump’s possible obstruction of the FBI investigation into Russia’s and the campaign’s activities—also of the impeachment investigation that followed. I was mistaken. The book is a valuable one and a very reliable reporting, perhaps the best so far, of those events. But like so much else in our current public life, succeeding events (some people call them scandals and outrages) and revelations have demanded our attention and drastically altered our understanding of events. Valuable and complete as it is, Toobin’s book must now be understood in the context of the revelations in Michael S. Schmidt’s Donald Trump v. The United States:Inside the Struggle to Stop a President, published on September 1. So, first Toobin’s book. This is Jeffrey Toobin’s ninth book. We also know him as the knowledgeable, judicious legal analyst for CNN. Toobin reports the efforts of Mueller and his team in full and also the efforts of President Trump’s shifting legal team. His conclusion is a surprising one—that Rudy Giuliani, comical as his antics may have been, was the most effective, because he treated Trump’s problems as political rather than legal.

Hamil- ton titled their final chapter “The Search for New Forms.” In it they called for African Americans to take control of their schools, reclaim their homes from negligent absentee http://jah.oxfordjournals.org/ landlords, insist that local businesses reinvest profits in their communities, and reshape the political institutions that served them. “We must begin to think of the black com- munity as a base of organization to control institutions in that community,” they wrote, capturing the ideals of “community control” and neighborhood self-determination at the center of the radical shift in the civil rights movement in the late 1960s. In invok- ing “forms,” the authors had in mind ways that those goals could be put into practice: through independent political candidates or through parents demanding authority over local school districts. Yet the term forms was also quite apt for its physical connotations, at University of New Mexico on August 30, 2016 as black power was a movement with fundamentally spatial origins and ambitions.1 Indeed, physical space played an essential role in the rise of black power. The black power movement grew from the historical process of urban spatial segregation, which had produced the sorts of racially homogeneous communities that inspired and incubated it. In such communities, black power proponents saw the possibility of racial autonomy, a dream fueled by the recent history of African decolonization. As activists explained in the late 1960s, spatially distinct places such as Harlem were akin to colonies, without adequate representation and vulnerable to the whims of outsiders.
