The Legal Exhibitionist: Morris Ernst, Jewish Identity, and the Modern Celebrity Lawyer

by Joel Silverman

The Legal Exhibitionist explores Morris Ernst's use of "exhibitionism" to transform himself from insecure youth into America's most popular lawyer. Though Ernst later abandoned his progressive values to defend the FBI and a Dominican dictator and is today largely unknown, his story presaged the phenomenon of the modern celebrity attorney.
