Lawrence Velvel of the maverick Massachusetts School of Law at Andover is among the victims of what may prove the biggest Wall Street fraud ever. Velvel has been associated with some causes we find congenial, such as reducing overhead costs and policing plagiarism in law education, and others we find much less so, such as that recent "law school conference contemplating the filing of war crime charges against leading members of the current administration, with an eye toward their eventual execution by hanging".
