I was reading the Best of the Web Today over at Opinion Journal this afternoon and could not believe what I saw. Lynne Stewart has been invited to speak at their 2007 Legal Ethics Conference. For those of you who don’t remeber the name Lynne Stewart, she was the lawyer who defended Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind Egyptian cleric who was convicted in 1996 of plotting terrorist attacks against various sites in the New York City area.

On February 10, 2005, Lynne Stewart was convicted of helping terrorists by smuggling messages of violence from one of her imprisoned clients — a radical Egyptian sheik — to his terrorist disciples on the outside. Her felony conviction also means she was automatically disbarred.

This is who Hofstra University has chosen to speak at an ethics conference?
