The Long Island New York-based Hofstra Law School is inviting Lynne Stewart to come speak at a legal-ethics conference entitled "Lawyering at the Edge: Unpopular Clients, Difficult Cases, Zealous Advocates." The conference material describes her as a "high profile radical and human rights attorney" who will talk of the "attacks on lawyers" who represent "unpopular causes and clients." Yeah. They left out that bit about her being convicted of providing material aid to terrorists. So Hofstra sees a disbarred criminal as an expert on legal ethics? They see someone convicted of giving material support to mass murderers as a champion of human rights?
If you need a lawyer, stay clear of Hofstra graduates.
H/T to Glenn Reynolds.
UPDATE: What a week we've had. A dictator invited to Columbia University, a former state senator defending Hezbollah and criticizing the United States on a terrorist-controlled television station, and now the Lynne Stewart debacle. What's next?
