Martin Flaherty, co-director of the Leitner Center for International Law and Justice, was quoted by Bloomberg Law on the ABA’s cancellation of a Chinese human rights lawyer’s book deal.
Martin Flaherty, a law professor at Fordham University who studies the rule of law in China, suggested on Thursday that all the controversy has made the ABA’s business justification weaker.
“With all this notoriety, Teng’s book would clearly sell,” Flaherty wrote in an email. “In that light, what is stopping the ABA from doing the right thing now and offering to publish?”
