Hundreds of people attended the West Tisbury Farmers’ Market this week to show support for the pierogi vendor who refused to sell dumplings to prominent attorney Alan Dershowitz.

Alan Dershowitz, a seasonal Chilmark resident and prominent attorney known for his controversial clients, is threatening litigation after he was denied a half dozen pierogi at the West Tisbury Farmers’ Market this week.

A small crowd gathered at the Chilmark Library on Tuesday to hear a talk from prominent lawyer, Harvard professor and seasonal Chilmark resident Alan Dershowitz about his new book.

It was standing room only at the Katharine Cornell Theatre in Vineyard Haven Wednesday night when Alan Dershowitz took the stage for a spirited defense of his recent public defense of President Trump.

At a Harvard Law School event a few weeks ago that honored Alan Dershowitz’s career, Larry David sent a video. “Look, the world is divided into two groups of people,” Mr. Dershowitz said, quoting Mr. David, an actor and fellow seasonal Vineyarder. “There are people who don’t know Alan and hate him. People who know Alan and love him. I’m in a third category. I know Alan really well and I hate his guts.”
