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.”

This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Our universities just LOVE America-haters. Isn’t Angela Davis still teaching at UC? How about that racist moron at NYU? Cornel West? Chomsky the Horrible?

Certainly, this stalwart of legal “ethics” would never have to worry about being out of a job...

I am in there about once a week. But hadn't been in in a while.

I'm usually a good source for news you can use and bottom stories of the day.

But yesterday I got two items in.

I think we need to pull together and figure out how to homeschool College with Stewart, McG and Terrorists prancing in and out of our universities.

A disgraced lawyer teaching a whole bunch of mush skulled law students...perhaps it would have been better to say “blind leading the blind”. This absurdity is breath taking!
