DESCRIPTION:'Why does Kaci Hickox\, long cleared of Ebola\, continued to be
  referred to as \n'the Ebola Nurse'? It’s a good question as Kaci Hickox h
 as not only been \ncleared of the deadly disease\, but she never had it to
  begin with.' \n-Inquisitr\n\n'Kaci Hickox will not be caged.' -The Atlant
 ic\n\nOn October 24\, 2014\, Kaci Hickox\, a nurse for Doctors Without Bor
 ders\, was \nplanning to return to her home in Maine from an extended visi
 t to Sierra \nLeone in West Africa where she had treated Ebola patients. S
 he had a \nconnecting flight in Newark\, NJ and was detained at the airpor
 t against her \nwill because of concerns that she may have been carrying a
  low-grade fever \nand was therefore believed to be symptomatic of the Ebo
 la virus. She was then \nplaced in an isolation tent in NJ before finally 
 being released to go home.\n\nUpon her return to Maine\, Hickox was subjec
 ted to a 21-day state-imposed home \nquarantine. She ignored it. Perhaps m
 ore accurately\, she defied it. She chose \ninstead to take on a legal fig
 ht for science and for civil liberties.\n\nMs. Hickox was represented by N
 orman Siegel and Steven J. Hyman\, a Lafayette \nalumnus from the class of
  1962\, in filing a lawsuit against the state of \nMaine. Mr. Hyman was qu
 ickly drawn into the media frenzy surrounding the \nHickox case\, being in
 terviewed by numerous print and news media sources. In a \nstatement to AB
 C news\, he shared her intentions\, 'Going forward she does not \nintend t
 o abide by the quarantine imposed by Maine officials because she is \nnot 
 a risk to others. She is asymptomatic and under all the protocols cannot 
 \nbe deemed a medical risk of being contagious to anyone.' Under Siegel an
 d \nHyman'a counsel\, Hickox won her case in Maine\, and Mr. Hyman will vi
 sit with \nus to tell the story.\n\nSteven J. Hyman was a history major at
  Lafayette and went on to law school at \nColumbia University. Now serving
  as the chair of litigation for the Manhattan \nfirm McLaughlin & Stern\, 
 Hyman is a frequent lecturer and panelist on civil \nliberties issues. He 
 recently gave a talk on campus\, sharing his experience \nhaving argued th
 e New York v. Quarles case in front of the Supreme Court in \n1984\, which
  established the 'public safety exception' to the Miranda rule.\n\n \n\nCo
