Although disbarred as a result of her conviction, Stewart was invited to address a legal ethics conference at Hofstra Law School in the fall of 2007. 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.” Walter Olson previewed the conference in “Over the edge.” According to a New York Times report on the conference summarized here, Stewart admitted to having been “cavalier” in the way she followed certain regulations governing communications with her client, but argued that the human bond between a lawyer and client is critical to the lawyer’s role as legal adviser. Said Stewart: “I was representing a client, and I would do it again, but I would do it in a way that would better insulate me.” Her main regret, she reportedly said, was that she was unaware the government was secretly taping her conversations with her client. (More on her appearance at the conference is posted here.) As I say, Stewart is a hard case.
