Jerold Auerbach
Jerold Auerbach (born 1936) is an American historian and professor emeritus of history at Wellesley College. His work principally addresses the modern history of the legal profession, Native Americans, and Israel and the Jewish people.
Auerbach earned the B.A. at Oberlin College and the Ph.D. at Columbia University in 1965.[1] He taught at Queens College and at Brandeis University before joining the Wellesley faculty in 1971.[1]
Writing in the Harvard Law Review, Judge Charles Edward Wyzanski, Jr., described Auerbach's Unequal Justice (1976) as having, "a cogency built on careful scholarship not impaired by fanaticism."[2] Not all reviews were as complimentary. Yale Law School professor Joseph W. Bishop, writing in Commentary, accused Auerbach of having "marred his argument by suggestion of the false, suppression of the true, distortion of his adversaries' arguments, and the frequent use of half-truth and sometimes simple untruth".[3] A New York Times book review by Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz was more favorable.[4]
