Bruce Jacob is too often identified with just one case: Gideon v. Wainwright. Gideon, however, was not Bruce’s only Supreme Court case, let alone his only criminal case. Bruce worked tirelessly for the rights of criminal defendants throughout his distinguished legal and academic career. Kaufman v. United States, the subject of this Article, is just one of those “other” cases. The tale of Harold Kaufman, his almost‐ comical crime spree, his redemption, and Bruce’s involvement is the stuff of Hollywood movies. For those of us who know Bruce, it is just another snapshot from a dedicated academician’s wonderful life.
