Procureur du roi

The administrators at BC may congratulate themselves for sitting at the feet of power, absorbing its pearls of wisdom and its good wishes. But they've abandoned the law's aspiration to justice in favor of its aspiration to power.

"I cannot imagine a better role model for the class of 2008," [law school dean John] Garvey said in the statement.
The ability to utter bullshit like this with a straight face is an important skill for a lawyer, but he's telling his students that anything they learned in three years about the principle of law they should forget. It's all about becoming the procureur du roi and sending the victims off to the Chateau d'If.
