Bio
In 1998, attorney C.L. Lindsay III, left his practice in New York City to found the Coalition for Student & Academic Rights (CO-STAR). Since then, acting as its Executive Director, he has built CO-STAR into a national student rights organization that helps thousands of college students with their legal problems, free of charge, each year.
C.L. is a nationally recognized expert and leader in the field of student rights and academic freedom. His syndicated column, "Ask CO-STAR " is distributed nationwide on Knight Ridder/Tribune's College Wire Service. The column, published weekly, has become one of Knight Ridder/Tribune's most popular features.
He is also the author of The College Student's Guide to the Law: Get a Grade Changed, Keep Your Stuff Private, Throw a Police-Free Party, and More! published in August 2005 by Taylor Trade Publishing.
He has appeared on national television, radio and has been featured in countless regional and national publications, including US News & World Reports, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Review of Higher Education, The Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post, The Cleveland Plain Dealer, New York Daily News, Newsday, CBS News Radio, Radio Times with Marty Moss-Coane (NPR), The Sally Jesse Raphael Show, College Bound Teen, and The Christian Science Monitor.
He graduated magna cum laude from Denison University, and received his J.D. from the University of Michigan. In his spare time, he teaches courses in Law and Literature at the University of Pennsylvania.

Hey Scott!
I wanted to let you know that C.L. Lindsay was so great! His show was very interesting and informative and he was just about the nicest guy! He was genuinely listening when students were talking to him before and after and he made everyone feel really comfortable. Thanks again for recommending him at NACA. You guys are the best!

Hi Scott,
You were right, C.L. Lindsay did not disappoint. He is easy going and great with students, staff and faculty. He answered many questions and he was kind to anyone that approached him. I want to thank you again for making it happen.
Some students that stopped in my office this morning have changed their pages on Facebook. That alone has made this presentation more than successful. However, there is something else happening today, students that attended yesterday must be telling their friends because students have already stopped in to ask if C.L. will be returning. They said they missed his presentation yesterday.
Also, two local high school employees (from two different high schools) said that they would possibly be interested in ...booking [C.L.].
We would like to try for a rebook next year.
Thanks again Scott!

Hi Scott -
The C.L. Lindsay program was a HUGE success!! We had about 1000 students in attendance and they really seemed to enjoy the presentation. And C.L. is a great guy... it was wonderful having him on campus for the day. He even went to my legal issues class!
Thanks again for everything... we could not have hoped for things to work out better!! And if any schools are ever looking for recommendations about C.L. please send them my way!!

C.L.,
First of all, I would like to sincerely thank you on behalf of Senate and Lehigh as a whole. The seminar was extremely informative and entertaining,... you provided me with some great words of wisdom.
I'd just like to thank you again, especially for the advice following the seminar. You really exceeded our expectations, and I hope to keep in contact with you in the future.

I saw many of the students that were [at the program], and they said that it was one of the best lectures they have seen since coming to campus. Good luck to you! Hopefully we will see you next year for another lecture.
