An Update on Our Second Favorite Regent Law Student / Grad

Adam Key 2 Adam M Key Regent Law School Above the Law blog.jpgOne of our favorite law students in America, Adam Key, is in the news once again. As you may recall, Key is a 2L at Regent Law School, the private, Christian law school in Virginia, founded by televangelist Pat Robertson.

Key is currently at war with the Regent administration over free speech issues. The university suspended him. In November 2007, he filed a lawsuit in federal court against the university, claiming violation of his free speech rights.

Now Key has filed a complaint with the American Bar Association, seeking to revoke Regent Law's accreditation by the ABA. For coverage, check out the Houston Chronicle and the Texas Lawyer.

We recently corresponded with Adam Key over instant messenger about the ABA complaint he just filed (among other topics). If you might be interested, you can read excerpts from our IM conversation below the fold.

P.S. With respect to the title of this post, our favorite Regent Law School student or graduate is Monica Goodling, of course. If you're on Facebook, join her fan club.

ABA Asked to Examine Accreditation of Pat Robertson's Law School [Texas Lawyer]
Spring man asks ABA to help him [Houston Chronicle]

Here are excerpts from our recent IM convo with Adam Key. They've been edited slightly for clarity. Also, the screen names used below are not our actual screen names.

ATL: greetings. happy new year!
Adam Key: you too. but it won't be a happy one for Regent.
ATL: what's new and exciting?
Adam Key: we filed a complaint with the ABA, seeking to revoke Regent's accred
ATL: oooh, interesting

ATL: what are you up to these days? did you do anything fun for holidays? besides prep complaint for ABA
Adam Key: haha. just the usual. finished my tattoo sleeve on my right arm
ATL: what was there to be done? it already looked pretty elaborate.
Adam Key: that was the left arm
Adam Key: the one you saw in the papers
Adam Key: that one just needs filler still

Adam Key: it took 9 years and several lawsuits for Regent to get accred in the 1st place
ATL: wow. I wouldn't be surprised if the ABA is all too happy to remove (or seriously consider removing) their accreditation
ATL: i have to say, i do think the aba does have a left-leaning orientation
Adam Key: when we're successful, it'll be the 1st time that a school has lost accred for any reason but relocation
ATL: i mean they've had such bad publicity last year. with your case.
Adam Key: and Goodling
ATL: so if [the ABA] can find a legitimate ground for considering removing accreditation, they will look at it

ATL: what about your studies - will you transfer if it loses accred?
Adam Key: i'm already planning to transfer to U. Houston in the Fall
Adam Key: anyone admitted to Regent before they lose accred is grandfathered in
Adam Key: if they lost accred tomorrow, the 1Ls and up would be safe
Adam Key: but anyone else who came in afterwards couldn't take the bar most places
ATL: yeah, that pretty much screws you

Adam Key: oh yeah, our judge is Samuel Kent
ATL: LOL! he's back on the bench
Adam Key: yep
ATL: too funny
Adam Key: i think we're the first case he's got
ATL: awesome

Adam Key: btw, have you researched my attorney at all?
Adam Key: former president of the Houston ACLU for the past 3 years, won the Houston Bible Courthouse case, known nationwide for having sued judges and won
ATL: wow, very impressive. how did you get hooked up w/him?
Adam Key: i saw him on the news, he was suing the judge who administratively prevented a death row appeal after the Supreme Court put a halt on all executions
Adam Key: the guy's lawyer's computer crashed, so they called the courthouse to request a brief extension, and instead of granting it, she ordered the courthouse doors be locked at 5pm
ATL: oh yeah, i remember that story! that judge got some horrible publicity for that
Adam Key: yup

Adam Key: oh, here's something [else]
Adam Key: Regent specifically altered their handbook in the middle of October, mere days before they suspended me, to give themselves the power to suspend me
ATL: seems dubious. grist for the ABA mill.
Adam Key: this whole removal because we think a person is "dangerous" section did not appear in the handbook until Oct 2007 (everything about the Pat photo started in Sept 07), the handbook hadn't previously been updated since August 2005
Adam Key: it's a reasonable provision in light of VA Tech, but that happened in April 07. If they were so concerned about student safety, why wait 6 months to change your handbook, and why do it in the middle of a semester instead of beforehand?

changing the handbook to make a rule to discipline him? wow. if that bears out in the investigation, Regent ought to lose their accreditation, just for that. it's the law school equivalent of an ex post facto law...just plain wrong.

This guy's hysterical. I love how serious he thinks it all is and how right he's sure he is. And how his prestigious lawyer, who's been known to voluntarily dismiss cases to judge-shop, is worthy of note. Or how he's found the "smoking gun" in that it would take *gasp* six months to amend a handbook. (Those things are usually changed overnight.) Fantastic work for a typical fourth-tier law student.

At this point, why would he try to get Regent discredited? Assume he wins his lawsuit and gets readmitted or ends his suspension, he now attends a discreted law school and cannot sit for the bar (not to mention the scorn from his classmates). Nice move!

While I am still disappointed in Regent for giving this knucklehead any sort of justification for a suit--no matter how frivolous that justification may be--the more this idiot says, the more ridiculous he looks. The complaint to revoke Regent's accreditation is nothing more than sour grapes which will serve no purpose other than stroking Key's already massive ego if granted. Of course he won't win, but the last thing Regent needs is more bad press, regardless of the outcome of this fiasco.

“A federal judge under investigation after being accused of sexually harassing a female employee was greeted Wednesday by protesters objecting to his return from a four-month suspension.

“McBroom was transferred to Houston, located 50 miles northwest of Galveston, after reporting her allegations.
“Kent, as part of his punishment, also was relocated to Houston.” (AP story)
It seems odd to “punish” a sexually harassing judge who allegedly grabled and fondled a female staff member by transferring him to the same court the victim was transferred to after she complained.

26 Posted by Hmmm....state action? | Permalink Tuesday, January 8, 2008 10:55 PM

Check the Houston Chronicle link...Adam Key states in an e-mail response to criticism that he is not stating in his claim that Regent is a state actor, but that they must adhere to the first amendment according to ABA accreditation norms, and supposed requirements of the Higher Education Act in regards to private institutions receiving federal aid.

OK, maybe the ABA norms, I'll grant him that...I just don't know enough about how the ABA would nuance their requirement, while at the same time respecting the institutional autonomy and confessional integrity of the myriad of law schools that are sponsored by universities with a religious sponsorship and/or foundation. And there are many of them out there.

But as for the Higher Ed Act...Huh? Title VI and Title IX claims for gender/racial discrimination in private institutions that receive federal aid, yes.

But a first amendment claim based on the Higher Education Act? Not likely at all. First of all, many private institutions of higher ed (particularly those of a religious persuasion) have restrictive codes of conduct that limit students' free expression, and these institutions still receive federal funds.

Regent is a joke - close it.

And the ACLU supports religious liberty - jonblaze is right.

It only steps in in such cases where one fanatical religious group tries to impose itself on others, denying them religious liberty (which includes the right to [be a rational person and] not believe in any "god").

He is my FIRST favorite Regent Law student. He is better off away from that place. This is such a petty matter and Pat Robertson should make peace and reconcile with this student. Pat Robertson loves a fight though and cheats in order to win and smears anyone who opposes him. They gang up on anyone who stands up to their abuses and aggression. Pat Robertson is a bully.
Adam needs to go elsewhere to learn law anyway. The founder of Regent promotes adultery and confusion and has made himself wealthy off of the exploitation of faithful and trusting souls. He and Russ Ritchel are the same, except that Russ Ritchel can get an erection to please HIS stalker whore but Pat Robertson cannot. OH, but Pat Robertson can leg press 2,000 pounds. Now, adulterer dork frogface Gordon is in that seat and everyone is covering for him. They use prayer and healing for bringing in money. They have no concern for God or for God's laws.

Nothing would surprise me anymore. I mean, Russ was stealing money from me and planning to pay everyone who helped him. Russ Ritchel sinned and got caught and then went after me as a scapegoat. I mean, I have to laugh. At least Stanley has her reading - faith healer Lisa Ryan with her new boobies. At least she can read even though she cannot write. WHY does she not just get out of Christian tv? What is inside the people's heads? They NEVER confess their own sins and they NEVER apologize to the people who they sinned against! They are all about winning and getting even. They forgive themselves in private! I hope Dianne Dogface Hughes got an autographed photo of Lisa Ryan. Dianne was so excited to be a part of that Good Christian family! Dianne must be so proud that her secret Celebrity Christian friend is back on tv again! Dianne was so helpful!
It is incredible to me that Charles Stanley (a divorced Southern Baptist pastor)
and malicious faith healer Lisa Ryan are together and on tv. Nothing surprises me anymore - NOTHING - especially from television preachers! What a day this has been with the news about Pat Robertson trying to buy The Pilot and now the news that faith healer Lisa Ryan is back on Christian tv again! They need to all live together in one big sick sad environment - either Virginia Beach or Winston. I felt so sorry for Gordon in general really. It is so ironic that I was the one who saved him from extortion.

thank you for allowing me to be a part of your family, your team
it meant so much that you trusted me and considered me worthy to take part in your missions work, good enough, acceptable, on the same level as lisa ryan and molly lineberger, oh it meant so much to me and i will not disappoint you i want to make you proud of me
i felt so special when you winked at me, when you spoke in code to me in your sermons, when gigi made contact with me with encouragement and friendship
i kept my promises i am so proud when i look at that big fancy building and realize that i helped build it along with our gigi i cannot wait for the day when God will give me my bmw and my other blessings for all my good work for HIS people
i will continue to wait patiently for the designated time when the missions work will reach fruition and for the superficial, uh oh, no i meant to say supernatural, SUPERNATURAL, and creative healings and blessings to miraculously appear just as you said they would that time we met together in secret and you said the mantra was God is a MYSSSSSSSSTERY
i watch tv everyday and i touch my tv screen i send in my money and i call that number for prayer
i really enjoyed working with the famous Christians, especially the beauty queens, they spoke to me often in code and it warmed my cold heart
thank you for sitting next to me that time and for making me one of your team members
i will never betray your trust
i am waiting for our experiment uh oh no i meant to say our bad christian to return HOME to us after she has been properly punished and i will pat her and whisper to her that i am praying for her i will call her hon and i will tell her how cute she is because i know we all want her to be confident and to feel loved and forgiven and accepted back even though she has caused such pain and has been so disobedient
i am ready to follow through when i get the tilt of the head or the lift of the chin as earlier described to me so that merideth and her mother can inspect her fruit and make their decisions about their own creative miraculous healings which will be free of charge and from God Almighty
i am full of eager anticipation for this, God's Will, to be made into a reality
i PROMISE i will never tell Cheryl NEVER what she doesn't know will not hurt her and we all only want what is best for Cheryl I PROMISE russ I PROMISE

This insensitive bastard "judge and jury" is still a pastor? Would he order someone in a wheelchair to stand or cite them for contempt?
turns out the judge is getting a lot of flak for strict enforcement of his.. rules of attire and feminine hygiene, now he worries of political backlash so he calls the lady and says.. "sorry". Then is interviewed about it for damage control.

He could care less about her personal feelings but when he worries about getting PRISON TIME he turns all sobby sobby and apologises.

this arrogant f_cking POS should be thrown out NOW!!

The Judge has publicly apologized to the woman and has permanently removed the anti-hat rule from his courtroom. I say it is too little, too late, but at least he has admitted he was wrong.

Many moons ago, I preached in codes and made the painful but necesssssssary decision to send her Out. Quietly Out into the desert, but Out nonetheless. To me, Gigi was hot--because I take an expansive view of the term "hot." She is an incredibley bright, talented woman, has strength of character, and is a true leader and has very nice nipples and gives incredible blow jobs. She PROMISSSSSEd not to tell. She is and always has been very prudent about how she handles drama and extramarital affairs by befriending the wives and gossiping with them about our scapegoat. I'd bet your whiny tipster money that if said tipster (or any secret partner were to make an appointment with Gigi, she'd speak to him/her candidly and directly about any legal or ethical or moral concerns (with violating privacy laws) that he or she might have about the now suspended, communiate threats via prayer and healing and conspiracy to commit theft and fraud and sabotage every good thing that our scapegoat attempts to do for herself and for her family.

I'm clearly biased in her favor, but

pat was lied to
but the other two will definitely do prison time
not sure what they'll do with pat since he committed criminal acts on his own but
it is true russ lied to him about gigi so i just don't know how it'll be handled
he's all desperate now because cheryl won't shut up about gordon

don't know for certain but
you people might be better now with the stanleys
it appears they've taken leadership
have a plan for paying off the loans
and the cost of the miraculous and creative healing of lisa's infirmity
sooooo
i'm just sayin
basically they're announcing they're good shepherds as opposed to the wolves that were in leadership

what are her credentials anyway? any college? any seminary? any legitimate theology training to speak of?
entering the same beauty pageant twice and winning neither time? does that make her qualified to be holywoman on tv?

What does this have to do with God's will or with signs and miracles speaking in tongues healing and words of knowledge and ministering in the SPIRIT? Nothing. I just wanted Gigi to get some props too. I never thought Cheryl would find out because I thought she was a stupid pea brain like Merideth. I never thought it would come to this. I thought it would be easy and I never expected her to give one minute of trouble. I thought she's be flattered by Lisa Ryan's attention. I never thought she'd find out. I never ever meant to hurt her and only wanted what was best for her and that is precisely why I arranged marriage between Cheryl and Bill McDonald!

plus a million in the bank for your retirement and a bmw and boobs for merideth all those bills paid off and a church full of high paid ass kissers with boob jobs and bmws too

hey Russ
every time i see Frogface Fatbutt boy Horny Gordon on tv i hear God talking to me and saying these words "send Kearsten send Kearsten send Kearsten to Gordon to be his wife"
I wonder if Pat will be buried in his big dentures well I hope not because Gordon needs them and it is God;s will for Gordon and Kearsten to have E harmony

Punishment for her sins and crimes must be taken out in the most hideous painful public and devastatingly horrible way possible\ and incrementally and not only HER SOUL will be lost but her children's souls also
AND her children must also suffer a life of misery and sickness and instability because she wouldn;t bow down kneel over or jump into the water lie down and let me walk all over her INJESUS NAME INJESUS NAME

the procedure will be minor
a surgeon will make one small incision and will then use an icepick
this talk of an occult and a conspiracy theory is getting to be a nuisance
the idea of a simple disappearance won't work now either and the schizophrenia diagnosis didn't go as expected and neither did the Gerald/Martha/bad speller scam
it may seen drastic but much that has been hidden will now be seen and God is a MYSSSSsstery

did gigi's mother also stalk that family?
well, did she go to pat robertson's house? did she say if she touched his ears?
did gigi go to gordon's house? meeuwsen's and ryan's? did gigi visit monty hamilton and mark kelly at their homes too? we know she went to the ritchel filthy house but did she go around to visit every man involved in her assignment? all those holymen in winston and every boss too? did she go visiting their neighbors DURING the time they lived there or before or AFTER they left? this makes me cringe and cry and those faith healers kept attacking cheryl and laughing at her losses
