During the early morning hours of August 27, 1974, Joan Little, a black prisoner at the Beaufort County Jail in North Carolina, stabbed to death a white male jailer and fled the prison. Little claimed that she had acted in self-defense when the jailer sexually assaulted her. The prosecutor claims that the prisoner had lured the jailer into the cell as part of an escape plot. Little's defense became a cause celebre, attracting support from advocates of women's rights, civil rights, and prison reform. Ultimately, the jury acquitted Little of murder. However, it is this book's thesis that because the defense "failed in court to prove that Joan Little was not guilty, just as [the 862 Michigan Law Review [Vol.

  • Morris Dees: More Than a Great Lawyer Published: 1:00 Am Mon, March 29, 2010 by DOUGLAS K
    Morris Dees: more than a great lawyer Published: 1:00 am Mon, March 29, 2010 By DOUGLAS K. SHEFF I recently had the privilege of introducing keynote speaker Morris Dees at the Massachusetts Bar Association's annual gala dinner. He reminded us all not only what can be accomplished through the law, but how the best of us within the profession are willing to sacrifice for the good of others. Dees, 74, made me proud to be a lawyer. Consider the following. In the 1950s, the South was not a terribly friendly place for minorities. Dees' father, however, provided him with a rare and commendable example to the contrary. He was a tenant farmer and worked alongside black workers daily. He would invite them into his home to sit at his table, unheard of in the South at the time. The elder Dees not only planted seeds in the earth but in his son as well. Dees received his law degree in 1960 from the University of Alabama but didn't focus much on the law just yet. Instead, he developed a direct-mail business that reached $15 million in sales – and that was in the '60s! Most would have continued along in life wealthy, happy and content. But not Dees. His past resurfaced with the rise of the civil rights movement. Federal legislation was passed but largely ignored in the South. Intolerance led to countless injustices and acts of violence. Dees was deeply affected when a bomb went off in a Birmingham Baptist church, killing four little girls. His requests for help were ignored, and he was, himself, ostracized from his community.
