    The name William Kunstler is cloaked in controversy. Revered by activists for taking on the establishment (the Chicago Seven, Attica, the stand-off at Wounded Knee), he was later reviled for defending people accused of rape, murder, organized crime and terrorism. David Rudovsky, one of the nation’s leading civil rights and criminal defense attorneys, joins filmmaker Emily Kunstler to discuss her father’s complicated legacy and the legal ethics questions they explore in her provocative new film: William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe. David Rudovsky is one of the nation’s leading civil rights and criminal defense attorneys and practices public interest law with the firm of Kairys, Rudovsky, Messing & Feinberg. Emily Kunstler is an activist and a documentary filmmaker. Presented in collaboration with the Jewish Film Festival Sponsored by the Earle Mack School of Law at Drexel University This program has been approved for two hours of ethics credit for Pennsylvania lawyers. Credits may be available in other jurisdictions as well. Attorneys seeking CLE credit should bring a check in the amount of $25, payable to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, to the event.
