Captain Friedl Segfrunsdóttir was a male Human professor of Federation law at Starfleet Academy in the mid-23rd century. In the year 2265, Captain James T. Kirk remembered one of Segfrunsdóttir's teachings when reading Federation News Service reporter, Tim Pennington's damning, but factual, report of the incident on Delta Vega I: "It's not enough to stand up for rights and freedoms only when they're convenient. To defend them in principle, defend them in practice, always." (VAN novel: Harbinger)
