Fox News reported on how Northwestern Law School’s Community Justice and Civil Rights Clinic is representing four of the protest organizers who were arrested during the traffic blockades near O’Hare Airport.
HLLI’s lawsuit is Manhart v. National Students for Justice in Palestine, et al.
Ted Frank, the Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute’s litigation director, slammed Northwestern over Bedi’s involvement in defending the activists.
“These are free legal services, or at least unpriced legal services,” Frank told the Free Beacon. “They’re paid for by the Northwestern budget, which in turn comes from tuition dollars, it comes from taxpayers, it comes from donations.”
“There’s an irony that these free lawyers, in a world where there’s so much legal need, devote scarce resources to defending people who want to destroy the very system of Western abundance in favor of barbarians.”
The group filed a class action lawsuit against what Frank called the “anti-American” organizers, arguing that they should have to pay civil damages to travelers who missed their flights or were forced to walk miles with their luggage to get to the airport.
