DRI Regional Director Bob Shively and DRI Executive Director John Kouris made the trek out to join in three days of fun, camaraderie and CLE’s [continuing legal education courses]. John opened the session to well over 250 registrants eager to hear keynote speaker James Cooney discuss the Duke Lacrosse case. “DRI sponsoring Mr. Cooney was a huge draw for our conference,” said Rob Jones, 2013 Conference Chair. “Having this resource at our fingertips only enhances the buzz of our conference.”

And apparently there is still interest in the case (and the wrongs perpetrated by a DA in trying to win a corrupt prosecution). Which means, that Duke's PR notwithstanding, the case is not going to fade away. Neither will Duke's own actions just be forgotten; because they'll have to be raised (at the very least, the FERPA actions) along with Nifong's. How much better it would have been for Duke--"best for Duke"-- if the school had bucked the temporary tide and sided with the truth, and with morality and justice. Maybe the trustees ought to take a look at how Brodhead's actions--"each step of the way" turned out to harm the school more than save it from temporary bad PR. (MOO)
