As reported on the Wall Street Journal law blog on July 16th, a Covington partner demonstrated strip searches endured by his clients at Guantanamo Bay by dropping his own pants at a press conference in Yemen. This is truly taking empathy to another level!

Also interesting are the follow-up comments on the blog condemning or praising the lawyer’s actions. Definitely the range of political opinion as well as the understanding of a lawyer’s role. I, for one, doubt that I would actually have the nerve to partially strip to make a point but I admire this lawyer for being willing to take what I imagine will be a great deal of teasing and mocking in order to make his point.
