UW law prof who irked Hmong speaks up

Almost 10 months after one of his legal process classes erupted into intense open hearings about what he did or didn’t say about the Hmong people, UW Law School professor Leonard Kaplan said in a lunchtime speech that he was trying to illustrate how the legal system can poorly serve minorities.

Wednesday’s speech before the Rotary Club of Madison marked the first time Kaplan has spoken at length about the controversy in public.
