The Adventures of Johnny Northside

John Hoff, a former UND Law student is being tried for defamation in Federal court in Minneapolis.  The charge is apparently the result of postings he placed on his personal blog which cast a disparaging light on Jerry Moore, a former member of the University of Minnesota’s Urban Research and Outreach/Engagement Center.  Moore was allegedly fired from his position at the University because of the postings on Hoff’s blog, The Adventures of Johnny North side (interesting reading).   The Grand Forks Herald article can be found here.

  3. Another Professor mentioned this guy a few times in his class. He was part of the county commission or something & I guess he was quite enthusiastic.
