Lawyers who represent unpopular clients and causes

I think I'll get into the business of supporting terrorists. Look at the opportunities this would present:

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — A disbarred lawyer convicted of helping her client communicate with terrorists was scheduled to teach at a Long Island, N.Y., law school ethics conference, FederalReview.com reported.

Lynne Stewart, who was convicted in 2005 of providing material support to terrorists and received a 28-month sentence, was to speak at Hofstra Law School’s legal ethics conference, set for Oct. 14 to Oct. 16.

Her former client, sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, was sentenced to life in prison for plotting to blow up five New York landmarks and assassinate Egypt's president.

According to Hofstra’s Web site, conference speakers were expected to discuss "prosecutorial abuse, the challenges of representing prisoners at Guantanamo and attacks on lawyers who represent unpopular clients and causes."

Uh huh...and how long will it take for the likes of Ms. Stewart to gain herself tenured employment at some soft kneed, lefitst agenda university, where she can educate future lawyers on how to support terrorists within the law? Or, as with her case, outside the law with little consequence? Since when can a disbarred lawyer teach a law school class?? Of ethics no damn less???
