Dallas, TX (LifeNews.com) -- Judge George Greer continues to travel the lecture circuit despite his controversial ruling allowing Terri Schiavo's former husband to kill her via euthanasia. Greer is slated to speak at a national summit concerning jury trials, even though he unilaterally allowed the taking of Terri's life without a jury deliberation.
Greer will be one of the speakers at next month's National Jury Summit hosted by the American Board of Trial Advocates.
The conference is an opportunity for legal experts to discuss the threats to the jury system.
The presentations will deal with the civil jury system, factors causing its deterioration, the benefits of preserving the jury trial, and what changes are needed to bring about recovery.
ABTA lists Judge Greer as the first in the line of speakers at the conference.
According to a press release of the event LifeNews.com obtained, ABTA says Greer "will address judicial independence and the civil jury system. He will discuss how the Terri Schiavo case and other recent events impact and damage the civil jury system in America."
Despite Greer's condemning Terri to a painful 13-day starvation and dehydration death, Greer was also a featured speaker at Loyola Law School Los Angeles last June.
There, Greer instructed members of the mainstream media in how to report on significant legal stories like the battle over Terri's life.
According to a statement from the school provided to LifeNews.com, Greer served on the faculty of the inaugural "Journalist Law School" at Loyola. The journalist law school was a three day long intensive seminar for reporters who write on the government, the courts, and individual court cases.
Journalists from CNN, CBS News, ABC News Radio, Bloomberg WNBC, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Philadelphia Daily News and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution attended the conference.
Greer also previously came under fire for speaking engagements at a bioethics forum at the University of Pennsylvania and a local Bar Association event in Florida.
Terri's brother Bobby Schindler has said that his family saw Greer's "pro-euthanasia, pro-death bias" for years during the legal battle and indicated the bias "tempered his decisions in my sister's case and caused him to unethically, immorally and illegally ordered her to die."
"How can any citizens of Florida have confidence that Judge Greer will remain unbiased now that he is on the speaking circuit justifying the killing of an innocent, disabled woman without any proof of her consent?" Schindler asked.
Schindler said Greer's public speaking "makes a mockery of the entire judicial system" and "certainly shows his bias against the disabled."

No, you have to quote the poster. He said "buzarre". What do I have to do, turn you in to the moderators? : )
That's the thing that goes off at the end of a basketball game. You know, like, "He won the game with a jumpshot at the buzarre."
You're better off ignoring these twits who've been neutered by emotion. Worst thing to happen to conservatism and FR in a long time.
Not very funny, alas. Judgment by group is the modern heresy and was at the root of the extreme political carnage of the 20th Century. Socialists (red shirts, black shirts, brown shirts) killed no fewer than 150 million innocents who belonged to the "wrong" or "inferior" group -- bourgeoisie, Kulaks, intelligentsia, Jews, Slavs, local tribes. Hitler and his SS were no better than 3rd on the mass murder list, far behind Mao and Stalin. Proportionately, Pol Pot was the cruellest murderer of them all and deserves to be remembered with an endowed chair at every liberal university.
Or those who would allow a summary execution without a trial by a jury of peers for the accused...
Macaroni and cheese and regular eye drops are medical treatment in Florida. Warning: DO NOT VISIT FLORIDA if you consider the possible consequences.
Judge George Greer, MURDERER & DICTATOR.
Against the law.
Greer's final stop will be a place even hotter than Vegas in August.
Murderer crossing state lines.
A VOTE FOR MITT IS A VOTE FOR THE CULTURE OF DEATH. (he's trying to hide behind Haleigh's skirts at the moment).

Warning: Visit Florida with caution. Our governor is in the tribe/culture of death too. He luvs teachers but nary one word about seniors or the disabled in his first speech.
If you're a teacher, visit Florida. Florida now belongs to u. Everyone else is immaterial or neglected or when the justice system, DCF, the police, the medical community and the attorneys are corrupt, they will kill disabled people.
At least Mikey and Jodi will be together for eternity where they're going.
You seem to know your way around FR. If you are a newbie, congrats for catching on so fast.
Saddam got better than Terri.
