Jerold Auerbach


Jerold Auerbach is an American historian and professor emeritus of history at Wellesley College.
Auerbach earned the B.A. at Oberlin College and the Ph.D. at Columbia University in 1965. He taught at Queens College and at Brandeis University before joining the Wellesley faculty in 1971.
Writing in the Harvard Law Review, Charles Edward Wyzanski, Jr., described Auerbach's writing as having, "a cogency built on careful scholarship not impaired by fanaticism." Not all reviews of Auerbach's Unequal Justice 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".
