Boalt Hall has earned the dubious distinction of providing safe harbor for America's premier torture advocate (John Yoo). I admit I don't know much about Goodwin Liu. What stand does he take on Torture? Will he have the guts to rise above the acquiescence to state cruelty demonstrated by Dean Christopher Edley?

UPDATE: Liu confirmation postponed.
Associate Dean and Professor Goodwin Liu, President Obama's pick for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, is expected to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee tomorrow. His nomination puts UC in the spotlight once again.
If confirmed, Liu will find himself sharing the bench with Bush administration appointee Jay Bybee, against whom he will be asked to recommend impeachment.
