George Washington University has hired U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan teach a law school course on judicial ethics and decision-making, even as she presides over a federal lawsuit against the university.
AliKhan, a Biden appointee to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, is overseeing Soffer v. George Washington University, a case filed in May 2025 by Jewish students and recent graduates.
The suit alleges that GWU, in Washington, D.C., violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by allowing a hostile environment for Jewish students. Plaintiffs cite incidents of harassment, vandalism and other conduct, along with what they describe as an inadequate administrative response.
The university announced AliKhan’s teaching role Feb. 25 as part of its law school Field Placement Program. The Spring 2026 course, titled “Judicial Lawyering,” is expected to cover judicial decision-making, professional responsibility, attorney ethical obligations and broader issues related to fairness and bias in the legal system.
The appointment, first reported by the Washington Free Beacon, has drawn criticism from some legal scholars, who argue it may create a conflict of interest under federal judicial ethics rules.

Also, District Judge Loren AliKhan? Exactly how many Muslim foreigners did the Biden handlers appoint to the bench?
“We won’t have time this semester to cover conflicts of interest. The concept is obsolete anyway.”
For class extra credit; give an example of conflict of interest. Also prejudicial nepotism.
Trump needs to go full Pinochet.
What pathetic corruption.
Hard to tell which party is more unethical in this situation, the university or the judge.
Can’t make this stuff up.
