An attorney who represented President Donald Trump during the recent impeachment trial says a law school canceled a civil rights law course he was going to teach and he was suspended from a civil rights lawyer email discussion list.
“I was hoping to teach a civil rights course at a law school in the fall. We’ve been in talks about it, kind of planning it out. I wrote to them and I said, ‘I want you to know, I’m gonna be representing Donald Trump in the impeachment case. I don’t know if that impacts on your decision at all,’” David Schoen, one of the three attorneys who argued before the Senate, told The Epoch Times.
“And they said, you know, they appreciated my writing and, frankly, it would make some students and faculty uncomfortable, so I couldn’t do it.
“That was sad for me because I really want to go more and more into teaching. I like doing that,” Schoen said.
Schoen, an Alabama-based lawyer recognized for his civil rights litigation, declined to name the school that canceled his course. He likewise declined to name the legal organization behind the email list that suspended him.
“They actually spent 48 hours discussing this with their board and so on. And they decided that they needed to suspend me from the list,” Schoen said. “It’s a very important one to me. It’s very prominent civil rights lawyers and fine people.”
Schoen delivered an impassioned argument on the first day of the trial for why the Senate didn’t have jurisdiction to try a former president. At the conclusion of his remarks, he appeared to be choking back tears as he read an 1849 poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow titled “The Building of the Ship.”

Boston College (JD) and Columbia (LLM) IIRC.
Indeed. I just wish the old-school liberals (who likely have the money) would see what is going on in their own party and come out from among them and be separate. Groups like New Discourses which goes against CRT have the common ground that we can rebuild America with. Leftists need to be shut down, period.
US Founder John Adams represented the British soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre as a defense attorney!!!!
Under our judicial and Constitutional system, every defendant deserves competent legal representation! Attorneys who take on the task of representing a criminal defendant—no matter how unpopular that defendant might be—should be commended for doing their duty—NOT CANCELLED, doxxed, or otherwise mistreated!!!!
How much more so if the defendant is a former President of the United States, whom many continue to love and support, even though others despise him!
PHOOEY to the vile leftists who hate President Trump and his supporters, and who are turning our beloved Republic into a horrible communistic dictatorship!!!!
Are there any old-school liberals under 50?
All too many traditional liberal Democrat politicians of bygone years (mainly well over 50) have continued to support the Democrat Party, even though it has become totally leftist and Marxist!!!!
Did Charles Manson’s lawyer or O.J. Simpson’s lawyer get “canceled”? Inquiring minds want to know.
Or Ghislane Maxwell’s...or Bill Cosby’s...
Schoen’s cancellation will assure that he will have many clients in the future.
And he will become very rich in the process.
Book deal anyone?
MG! I never knew there were so many communist in America.
Morals no longer exist.
It amazes me that to this day, 245 years after our country’s founding,that the very first amendment or re-statement of fundamental rights, is still under attack by those who cannot tolerate the discussion of opposing ideas. If the left is so assured in their ideas acceptance why should they care that opposing ideas are presented?
Such a wonderful lesson for law students - not everyone has a right to legal representation.
Petty, petty, petty.
Perhaps they’d like to cancel every lawyer who’s represented someone they didn’t like. That’d be the fair thing to do.

OK
It makes some lawyers (future and present) uncomfortable.
They are not fit to be lawyers.
We need to make our voices heard...we need phone #‘s n names to contact!! It’s time ....FIGHT!
Remember the Nuremburg Laws?
Never forget the following: that the monsters openly celebrating Rush Limbaugh’s death are not Internet trolls, are not the dregs of social media. No, these are the same mainstream Democrats who want to rule over us.
These wicked and vicious people enjoy verified social media accounts and social status. These godless people who brim with bitterness and hate, who feast off death as some sort of cosmic retribution against us, have been normalized and accepted and embraced by the establishment media, big tech, academia, Hollywood, and the Democrat Party.
Worse still, these are the people who want to rule over us… Not only those who openly hate us so much they celebrate our deaths, but those who accept and enable this hate.
[...]
If there was a red button that would magically give everyone who voted for Donald Trump incurable, stage 4 lung cancer ... these godless [*] would press that button ten times.
Once to give us the cancer, nine more just to be sure.
These people hate us.
They want us dead. And…
They want to rule over us.
Five major American institutions — the Democrat Party, the establishment media, education, big tech, and entertainment — all hate us so much they celebrate our deaths.
We can never-ever-ever allow ourselves to forget that.
The ‘law school’ is sending a message. You can’t defend the Jews or the SS will report it to Hitler... So if you want to be a ‘good German’ you let ‘the others’ twist in the wind.
Oops, I meant “Trump and Trump Supporters” where I wrote “Jews”....
Nothing says “civil rights” like denying a citizen the Assistance of Counsel for his defence in criminal cases...
I think O.J.'s prosecutors, Marsha Clark and Christopher Darden, had a pretty bad time for a while there.
Believe it. We’re in a communist purge. No two ways about it.

It’s shocking. My own parents (now deceased) escaped from a communist country. Now it came here.
