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.”

Hempstead isn't far from NYC and it wouldn't surprise me if Hofstra had a few 9/11 victims among its alumni. This is a classless move on their part, perhaps even worse than that debacle at Columbia this week.

Sentenced a year ago to 28 months in prison? Why is she free now, I wonder?

I thought she was dying of breast cancer, and that’s why she couldn’t endure the prison sentence. Now she’s well enough to teach her ethics (or lack thereof) to clueless law students?
If her health has improved that much, she needs to go to prison to serve her time.

Because she’s a Leftist. American leftists don’t go to prison for crimes they commit in support of their political ideology. In fact, some of them get elected President instead.

Our world is being turned on its head. Human rights Nations at the UN are...? Lynne Stewart...ethics? Unequal treatment under the law is equality? Divide everyone into racial multi-cultures to avoid racism? I get real tired of this crap, never can a left wing useful idiot give you any real reason for doing it other than to bring down the system instill a Utopian era. Except they can never tell you what this utopia is in anything but the most pie in the sky generalities.
Scares the crap out of me, i truly fear for our future. I just don't know if the good people left have the numbers or willingness to do what it takes.

It should read "Stewart was convicted of passing messages to Abdel Rahman’s radical Muslim followers"

"Prosecutors alleged that Stewart had passed on messages to Abdel Rahman’s radical Muslim followers...."
THe traitor was CONVICTED (and also DISBARRED). It's not an 'allegation' when there has been a conviction in a court of law, you pitiful MSM so-called "journalists"......
It figures that Treasoncrats of academia would be eager to continue to treat this TRAITOR who aided and abetted terrorists as one of their own in the 'community' of leftist academic frauds.
