Cruz urges Texas bar for careful consideration of Stanford graduates following campus protests





Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) urged the Texas state bar to carefully consider the fitness of certain Stanford University law school graduates after a protest over a conservative judge’s speaking engagement on the campus.

Cruz in a letter to Texas officials said there is a “fundamental” question over whether the students who protested the appearance by Kyle Duncan, a circuit judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, are “fit to practice law” in Texas.

“The idea that these future lawyers would find it acceptable to harass and insult a sitting judge boggles the mind, and seriously calls into question whether these students have the proper respect for the role of a judge, or the temperament to practice law,” he said in a Thursday letter to Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Nathan Hecht and Augustin Rivera, the chair of the Texas Board of Law Examiners.

“Indeed, these students’ tantrum raises a fair question as to whether they can be trusted to dispassionately defend clients that might have ideological opinions different from their own,” Cruz wrote.

1. I'd make the opposite statement:

The law students are practicing being "zealous advocates" which would favorably reflect their dedication to their clients, to their positions, and to their professional ethics.

Judges Want ‘Disruptive’ Law Students Flagged to Employers

Seth Stern

- Fifth, Eleventh Circuit judges say students should be punished

- Another judge was interrupted at Stanford appearance

Two federal appeals court judges say law schools should consider informing potential employers if students participate in protests that disrupt speakers on campus.

Fifth Circuit Judge James Ho and Eleventh Circuit Judge Elizabeth Branch wrote in the National Review that law schools should punish students who participate in “disruptive tactics” and said they’re failing to “teach students how to become good citizens.”

"And if schools are unwilling to impose consequences themselves, at a minimum they should identify the disrupters so that future employers know who they are hiring,” the judges said ahead of their scheduled appearance on Wednesday at Yale Law School.

Their article is the latest response to the disruption of Fifth Circuit Judge Kyle Duncan’s March 9 appearance at Stanford Law School where protesters interrupted his remarks.
