Civil Rights Activist

Dershowitz is well known for his promotion of civil liberties and his promoting of equal rights to Jews around theworld. This should be added to the lead. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Alan-Dershowitz — Preceding unsigned comment added by Solarsilk1000 (talkcontribs) 10:19, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Sexual abuse allegations

If Dershowitz was found innocent of these allegations, can we significantly trim (not remove, but trim) this material? For for BLP reasons, but also false allegations are, by definition, irrelevant to the topic.VR (Please ping on reply) 22:05, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
