Terrorist Lawyer Lynne Stewart to Teach Legal Ethics
Federal Review ^ | Tuesday, September 25, 2007

Posted on 09/25/2007 6:38:18 PM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

HEMPSTEAD,NY--A disbarred lawyer convicted of aiding terrorists will be teaching at an upcoming law school ethics conference.

Lynne Stewart, who was found guilty of conspiring with terrorist Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, will be speaking October 16 at Hofstra Law School’s “Legal Ethics: Lawyering on the Edge,” in Hempstead, New York.

The speaking engagement comes only a year after Stewart was sentenced to twenty-eight months in prison on charges of conspiracy and providing material support to terrorists.

Prosecutors alleged that Stewart had passed on messages to Abdel Rahman’s radical Muslim followers, authorizing a resumption of terrorist operations against the Egyptian government.

As a result of the convictions, Stewart was automatically disbarred from practicing law.

Her client, Abdel Rahman, was convicted in 1996 of plots to bomb landmarks around New York City.

Stewart will be speaking at Hofstra Law School’s 2007 Legal Ethics Conference, “Lawyering at the Edge: Unpopular Clients, Difficult Cases, Zealous Advocates.” The conference is scheduled for October 14 to 16, 2007 in the Sidney R. Siben and Walter Siben Moot Courtroom (room 308) of Hofstra Law School.

According to the University’s website, the conference will feature “dynamic speakers who will weigh in on controversial issues such as prosecutorial abuse, the challenges of representing prisoners at Guantanamo, and attacks on lawyers who represent unpopular clients and causes.”

“DO NOT post her picture.....for the love of God!!!!!!!!”

I agree. BUT just imagine a dream calendar for Dims:

January: Her Thighness in a thong

February: Lynne Stewart disclosing a fleshy leg under a silk sheet.

March: Helen Thomas in a black Lebanese robe, raising it up to show everybody her fat knees.

April: Rosie O’Donuts in the altogether.

May: Katie Couric stripping using a pole as a prop.

June: Greta Van Susteren licking a picture of OJ Simpson.

July: Jammah Cahtah taking his pants down so Her Thighness can pleasure him.

August: Geraldo Rivera pleasuring Jammah Cahtah.

September: Janet Reno with a For Rent (price reduced) sign on her thighs.

October: Dukakis counting how many states he won in 1984, hoping he could use his other hand.

November: Barry Goldwater wondering why he was demonized by LBJ when LBJ did what he accused Goldwater of planning to do.

December: Who could end the year without a picture of a swimming beauty. How about a svelte Senior Sinator from Taxachusetts, the son of a bootlegger - Fat Teddy!

I don’t know if you remember the transcipt, but the Clinton apointee judge who sentenced her to the 28 months actually heaped praise on her during the sentencing.

This was what John G. Koeltl had to say about Stewart’s terrorist activities: “Ms. Stewart performed a public service, not only to her clients, but to the nation,”. This is why the judge refused to enforce the federal guidelines that called for 30 years behind bars.

Nice , huh?

Oh yeah, he then allowed her to go free while she appealed.

This pretty much says it all about trying to fight the WOT in our courts.

Hofstra is clearly a leading shyster education center, with the most unethical disbarred felon traitor in America teaching ethics.

Who are these people? Beyond, non-discriminating Libs; who could not find a moral value or principle to stand on, if the water level was up to their collective noses.

Pathetic. . .who IS in charge here. . .

What in the world are these colleges and universities thinking?

That they are determined to create a world that mirrors their own disgusting image. . .an image I might add; that never ceases to give them a smile, should they linger in front of a mirror.

Perhaps this will give their benefactors pause. And those whose education plans, include Hofstra. . .

No, politicians have no scrupples—right or left. In New Jersey, Ex-Democrat Gov McGreevey is teaching ethics at Kean University. University was founded by Kean family—long time Republicans. Why would the university want anything to do with a person who cruises Parkway rest stops (aided and abetted by the NJ State Police) for drive-by trysts with males he doesn’t even know. Also hired a boy friend for a state homeland security post. The individual was totally without qualifications. This country needs and enema!

Maybe Lynne Stewarts class on ethics here is a follow up to McGreevey's ethics lessons at Kane U???
