Students at Northwestern Law School are outraged that Jerry Springer has been invited to give the commencement address for the graduating class of ’08.’ Mr. Springer earned notoriety for being a raunchy talk-show host, a Cincinnati city councilman forced to resign for paying a prostitute with a check and sleeping with Kendra Jade, a porn queen.

According to the New York Post: “’There is a current uproar in the graduating class. The graduation committee thought Jerry would be the appropriate speaker for this year’s convocation. Most of the student body is opposed to this, but the administration is sticking by the committee’s decision,’ reports Above the Law, a popular Blog among law students and lawyers.

David Van Zandt, the school’s dean, defended the choice by saying that Mr. Springer is a graduate of Northwestern Law School, who was an elected official as a councilman and mayor of Cincinnati. He said he looks forward to his participation at the convocation.
