	Chutzpah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Norman Finkelstein titled his book responding to Dershowitz's claims on Israel Beyond Chutzpah.
		Whereas in Hebrew chutzpah is used indignantly, to describe someone who has outstepped the boundaries of accepted polite behaviour for selfish reasons, in English chutzpah can be spoken in admiration of non-conformist but gutsy audacity.
		One humorous example of chutzpah is often given as follows: "A boy is on trial for murdering his parents, and he begs of the judge leniency because he is an orphan."

	Jewish Law - Commentary/Opinion - The Supreme Chutzpah
		Perhaps the classic "legal" definition of chutzpah is the closest; a person who kills his parents and pleads for the court's mercy on the ground of being an orphan.
		The Seventh Circuit noted in 1995, Yiddishisms such as chutzpah "have become absorbed into standard English and are now applied to members of all racial and ethnic groups." According to Judge Alex Kozinski of the Ninth Circuit, Yiddish is quickly supplanting Latin as the spice in American legal argot.
		And maybe this is the most fantastic chutzpah of all; while the world has an unfortunate history of prejudice, in America tolerance and pluralism are becoming traditional values.

	Chutzpah (review)
		Chutzpah, according to Leo Rosten's Joy's of Yiddish (I968], is from Hebrew and means insolence, audacity, gall, effrontery: "A Chutzpahnik may be defined as the man who shouts 'Help!' 'Help!' while beating you up." As we'll see, that may not be too wide off the mark as to what Dershowitz and company are up to.
		Yet in Chutzpah he vigorously defends every aspect of the Israeli proceeding, including the reliability of eyewitness testimony 40 and 50 years after the fact and.
		Dershowitz won his spurs as a hair-trigger civil libertarian and defender of the underdog (plus a few over-dogs, like Claus von B low and hotel "queen" Leona Helmsley) whose ability to pounce upon and impeach trial evidence of the slightest doubtfulness is legendary.

	Jhumor 18 Yiddish Law
		The most famous definition of "chutzpah" is, of course, itself law-themed: chutzpah is when a man kills both his parents and begs the court for mercy because he's an orphan.
		The first reported use of "chutzpah" was in 1972, in an opinion of the Georgia Court of Appeals.
		"Chutzpah" is firmly ensconced, and, we're happy to say, usually spelled right.

	Chutzpah!- by Justin Raimondo
		The chutzpah strategy is a desperate attempt to deflect this all-sided attack, by launching a preemptive — some would say suicidal — strike against the enemy.
		That's what the chutzpah strategy is all about: brazening it out.
		While the sheer effrontery of Perle's call for a purge of the US intelligence community is so bold as to be almost admirable, this isn't likely to save him from the consequences of his own hubris.

	Law.com - Judge: $100M Suit Against NASD Shows Height of 'Chutzpah'
		Mukasey said Scher's chutzpah surpassed even that of Thaler's, noting that the latter had at least "been toppled from a far loftier perch than in-house counsel to a securities firm."
		By suing the National Association of Securities Dealers for $100 million in damages resulting from a perjury conviction and disbarment, an ex-lawyer has surpassed a previous bar for "courtroom chutzpah," a Southern District of New York judge said in dismissing the suit.
		Jamie Scher was convicted of perjury in 2002 for her role in attempting to thwart a 1998 NASD investigation into the position her father held at Renaissance Financial Securities Corp., a Long Island brokerage.

	Giving Chutzpah New Meaning
		Most of Beyond Chutzpah consists of these kinds of juxtapositions--arguments by Dershowitz on Israeli practices of torture, assassinations, treatment of Palestinian children, and water and land rights, refuted by documentation from human rights organizations.
		Dershowitz did not see the manuscript for Beyond Chutzpah before writing his letters, which were based instead on statements Finkelstein had made in interviews and lectures.
		The body of Beyond Chutzpah shows Finkelstein to be an indefatigable researcher with a forensic ability to take apart other people's arguments.

	Washington Post Press Release 08/16/99
		That definition is usually augmented by an old story: Chutzpah is the quality displayed by the kid who killed his parents and then asked the judge for mercy because he was an orphan.
		Maybe now we should augment the definition with a new story: Chutzpah is the quality displayed by the man who names a soda after dope, then markets it with the slogan "Stoned to the Bone" and then claims it's an anti-drug product.
		The dictionary says chutzpah means "shameless audacity." That's true but inadequate.

		Neulander's second trial was moved from Camden to Freehold, in Monmouth County, because of intense publicity in Philadelphia and the large New Jersey suburb of Cherry Hill.

	Guardian Unlimited Books Review Short and sweet
		The thing about Julie (and she's the sort of journalist with whom you feel you are definitely on first name terms) is that whether you agree with her or not, there is always a turn of phrase that makes you laugh out loud and you have to admire her sheer chutzpah.
		For anyone who doesn't know what chutzpah is, "nerve" or "brass neck" just about translates it, but there's an added element of wit or wry humour buried somewhere in there too.
		She's run off with "a boy young enough to be her waist measurement" and Kim has to hold together her father, her young brother and herself, while adjusting to life in a school which is very different from the posh school she'd attended hitherto.
