	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 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chutzpah is the quality of audacity, for good or for bad.
		In Hebrew, chutzpah is used indignantly, to describe someone who has outstepped the boundaries of accepted polite behaviour for selfish reasons, while 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."

	Courage Versus Chutzpah
		An extreme form of chutzpah is exemplified by someone who murders his parents and then claims that the court should be lenient with him because he is an orphan.
		Chutzpah usually denotes that someone is doing or saying something that is not appropriate.
		If a person does have the negative trait of chutzpah, instead of trying to become meek and quiet, he or she should find positive ways to speak and act with courage.

		Any chutzpah in the story so far was a mere appetizer.

		"Chutzpah is not an infrequent visitor to our court and may, in fact, have its place in the development of the law," Thomas wrote.

	Chutzpah - Jews for Jesus
		Chutzpah by Alan M. Dershowitz (Boston: Little, Brown and Co) 378 pp.,c.
		As we approach the close of the most cataclysmic century of Jewish historyâ¦the time is ripe for a major reassessment of the situation of Jews in America and in the world.
		Chutzpah alerts the reader to the real dangers of an "alive and well" anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism and what Dershowitz calls Judeopathy.

	Giving Chutzpah New Meaning
		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.
		Dershowitz writes that on several occasions, the army passed up opportunities to attack him “because he was with his wife or children.” But in July 2002 an Israeli F-16 dropped a one-ton bomb on Shehadeh’s apartment building in Gaza City, killing Shehadeh and fourteen Palestinian civilians, nine of whom were children.
		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.

	Law.com - Judge: $100M Suit Against NASD Shows Height of 'Chutzpah'
		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.
		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."

	FrontPage magazine.com :: What Lies Beyond Chutzpah? by Jacob Laksin
		For instance, Dershowitz points to the fact that Israeli judges are debarred from serving as permanent members of the court, even as the heads of nations expressly committed to Israel’s destruction—and ungoverned by the rule of law—are unquestioningly accorded the distinction.
		Of the Israeli security fence, Finkelstein insists, in all apparent seriousness, that is not “designed to fight terrorism.” Similarly, he takes indignant issue with Dershowitz’s statement that that Palestinian terrorists have exploded “an antipersonnel bomb made of nails soaked in rat poison.” According to Finkelstein, Dershowitz has never provided any evidence for the claim.
		In view of the numerous distortions and flagrant falsehoods collected in Beyond Chutzpah, to say nothing of its extended flirtation with sundry anti-Semitic tropes, it might be asked why the University of California Press, heretofore a distinguished publisher, assented to lend its seal of approval to Finkelstein’s book.

	ZNet \|Israel/Palestine \| Beyond Chutzpah
		In spite of the public furor about Dershowitz's alleged plagiarism, this plays a relatively small role in Beyond Chutzpah, thus it is no coincidence that the documentation of his use of Peter's work is relegated to three appendixes, and is not in the main body of the book.
		The reader learns, for example, how many Palestinian houses were demolished and how many people were left homeless, the number of prisoners who were tortured and the methods their interrogators used, and how Palestinian medical facilities were attacked and the population's access to medical care constantly hindered.
		On the one hand, the controversy surrounding Beyond Chutzpah seems to be a reaction to Finkelstein's attempt to expose how elements in academia have played an active role in covering up Israel's abuse, and by extension, the abuse of other rogue regimes, not least the US itself.
