| which was once owned by the Sultan of Brunei, is a flying mansion, equipped with a bedroom, |
| several sitting rooms, a chef and other appertences of wealth and glamour. I spent much of the |
| trip conferring with Sheldon and his wife, Dr. Miriam Adelson, who is an expert in addiction and |
| the psychological problems associated with drug dependency. As we were about to land, I was |
| invited into the cockpit where I saw the Hoover Dam and other interesting sights on the approach |
| to Las Vegas. Upon arriving in Las Vegas I was taken to the Dr. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson |
| Educational Campus and shown around the school that they built in a suburb of Las Vegas. Then |
| I was picked up by Larry Ruvo, who wanted me to see the brain institute that architect Frank |
| Grary had built in Ruvo's father's memory. Ruvo credits me with helping to get this project |
| done, after the local university ran out of money and broke its agreement with him. I wrote a |
| strong letter on his behalf, and the result was an arrangement with the Cleveland Clinic, one of the |
| great medical institutions in the world. After touring the facility, I went to the Venetian Hotel |
| where I spoke on behalf of the Adelson Day School and was honored with a beautiful plaque |
| made from Jerusalem stone. The students of the school presented me with a book of drawings |
| that the students had done in my honor representing their views of justice. (Later that week, I |
| passed the book around to the college students in my seminar on morality.) At 10PM, I was |
| taken to the airport where the Adelsons smaller jet— a gulfstream —was waiting to fly me back to |
| New York where I arrived at 5:30AM. |
| Following a few hours of sleep in my New York apartment, I was picked up by a paralegal and |
| driven to Rikers Island where I spent the morning conferring with my client Gigi Jordan, who is |
| accused of murder. She had killed her autistic son and tried to kill herself after learning that her |
| child had been repeatedly abused, both sexually and physically by his biological father, and after |
| unsuccessfully seeking help from numerous government and social service agencies. |
| After returning from Rikers Island, I was driven to Brooklyn College, where my legal and |
| personal papers—more than a million of them in 1600 boxes—were being opened for public |
| viewing. I am contributing all of my papers to my alma matter. I made a talk about the papers |
| and my experiences at Brooklyn College to a crowd that included my wife and sons, old friends, |
| classmates, current and former faculty members, and current students. It was a thrilling |
| experience for me to go back more than half a century to the college that meant so much to me |
| and to express my appreciation to people who so influenced my life. |
| On Tuesday I appeared in New York State Supreme Court on behalf of my client Gigi Jordan and |
| made arguments in preparation for her trial. Following that court appearance, I boarded the |
| Acela train and went home for a good long night's sleep. |
| On Wednesday morning I met with the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Luis |
| Moreno Ocampo, for breakfast. He had invited me to discuss with him a pending application of |
| the Palestinian Authority to be recognized as a state by the International Criminal Court in order |
| to bring charges against Israel for the war in Gaza and for building settlements in the West Bank. |
| We had a long and fruitful discussion. |
| I then went back to the law school where I prepared for my first class of the day—a legal ethics |
| course from 1 to 3PM. Before class I had a short lunch in the faculty dining room where I sat |
| with an old friend, Michael Boudin, who is a judge on the US Court of Appeals for the First |
