Yup, you guessed it: Alan M. Dershowitz.
From the introduction:
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. 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.
The citation is 71 Alb. L. Rev. 731 (2008), if you're curious.
