From the nation’s most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer comes a “dazzling and stimulating” exploration of how the creation of the ten commandments provides the origins to today’s law (Library Journal).

Alan Dershowitz is one of America’s most famous litigation experts. In the Genesis of Justice he examines the Genesis narratives to bring to the reader an insight into the creation of the ten commandments and much of what is now law.
