The dean of the law school at the University of the District of Columbia urged students to take part in protests in Baltimore, even offering to defer an exam for those who help people on the street with legal advice.

Dean Shelley Broderick of the David A. Clarke School of Law told students that community and police relations “is the civil rights issue of our time,” and that law school leaders want students to be part of the “energy and commitment” of the protests.

University of the District of Columbia?

Never heard of it. Is this some diploma mill?

I get my lawyers from real law schools.

It would be kind of them to offer their help to the businesses that were attacked/people attacked

It would be, but liberalism is not about kindness and decency.

university of District of Columbia? What is their mascot? A terrorist? Or a moronic law professor?

[ExCTCitizen]

It was once a Normal School, now it's an ABNORMAL SCHOOL.

An urban school with agriculture studies? What does the graduates do? What farm loans for grants for urban farming? (Most farm loads are given not to farmers in Iowa or Dakotas, but to people in Manhattan, NYCity...)
