#1 Might I suggest the following additions to the curriculum:

Intro. to Academic Integrity: Ward Churchill
Ethics of Political Fund-raising: Norman Hsu

#2 Ummmmmmmmm...why isn't she in jail like she was sentenced to be?

#3 Can it be any clearer?

They are just on the other side.

#4 Hofstra goes into CYA mode...

Ms. Stewart is not being invited to teach trial advocacy or legal ethics. Implicit in lawyering at the edge is the risk of going over the edge, both ethically and legally. Like every speaker at our highly successful conferences, Stewart will speak for twenty minutes and then be subjected to sharp questioning for an equal twenty minutes. Students are more likely, therefore, to come away viewing her not as a role model, but as a cautionary lesson. That’s effective education in lawyers’ ethics, which is too often considered a dry, uninteresting, and unimportant subject.

Uh-huh...I'm sure she'd agree to that.

#5 Too bad. They just missed getting Ahmadinejad to lecture on the Holocaust. Like tu3031 noted, Stewart shouldn't even be allowed to set foot out of prison. Evidently, this rutbag has been granted a stay due to her breast cancer. If she's well enough to lecture, she's well enough to serve time. America takes yet another step through the looking glass.

#6 This shitbag is allowed to skip jail because she's sick? WFT?

#7 Students are more likely, therefore, to come away viewing her not as a role model, but as a cautionary lesson.

Nowhere in the Hofstra's publicity are her conviction and disbarment mentioned.However, she is described as a 'human rights attorney'.

#8 The oral arguments for the appeal of her conviction are slated for December 18, 2007. She's out on appeal.

#9 Nobody forget that Stewart's client, Omar "the blind sheik" Abdel-Rahman, was the architect of the first World Trade Center attack. That scumsucking terrorist maggot drew Osama's roadmap for the 9-11 atrocity. Lynne Stewart's consorting with this waste of skin meant collaborating with America's absolute worst enemies. She should have been executed for treason.

Just went back and looked at that. Interesting outlook...for a law school.

#11 In the US News & World College Rankings Hofstra falls neatly into the abyss of the fourth tier -- if anyone ever wondered why, this article is as the lawyers say, "asked and answered."
