Il. DERSHOWITZ RELEASES CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IN VIOLATION
OF A FLORIDA COURT ORDER
The pending sanction motion in the Florida Court is an illustrative example of how
Dershowitz willingly violates Court orders. On December 11, 2015, in a transparent attempt to
play his case to the media rather than try it before the court, Dershowitz filed a false affidavit
with the Florida court purporting to describe confidential settlement communications with
Giuffre’s counsel and attempting to discredit Giuffre. He filed his affidavit in the public court
file, despite knowing Ms. Giuffre’s standing objections. He then alerted the media (specifically
the New York Times) to these statements. After Giuffre filed an emergency motion to seal the
affidavit, the court found in favor of Ms. Giuffre that the communications in the affidavit were in
fact confidential settlement negotiations that should not have been disclosed and granted
Giuffre’s motion. McCawley Dec., Ex. 15. During the hearing, the Florida court admonished
Dershowitz not to reveal any other confidential settlement negations:
MS. MCCAWLEY: Your Honor, if the intent here is to continue to spew the
confidential settlement negotiations and have Dershowitz go to New York or other
locations to say these things again, I would object to that. I think this Court needs to be
very stern in its response that these are not appropriate to be disclosed.
THE COURT: Well, I think he is aware of that.
MR. SAFRA [Dershowitz’s attorney]: I'm aware, and I will convey to my client. . .””
Ms. Giuffre had a pending motion for sanctions against Dershowitz for his conduct in
wrongfully revealing and flatly mischaracterizing these settlement disclosures. McCawley Dec.

added).
