Hillary Clinton’s Arkansas law license has been reinstated after 17 years of suspension. No word as yet on the significance of that.
A recent routine notice of reinstatements and suspensions by the Arkansas Continuing Legal Education Board said Clinton was one of several lawyers reinstated by the board at a meeting March 4 after payment of a reinstatement fee. Another familiar name on the list was that of Rodney Slater, Transportation secretary during the Clinton administration. He was reinstated March 5.
Clinton’s license was suspended in March 2002 for failure to complete continuing education requirements. Having been admitted to the bar more than 40 years ago (she was admitted to the Arkansas bar in October 1973) and also being older than 70, she’s no longer required under Arkansas rules to meet CLE requirements.
Clinton was a partner in the Rose Law Firm when Bill Clinton ran for president. She’s stayed busy since, but not as a practicing lawyer. Her last appearance of record in an Arkansas court was in May 1992, a civil case before the Arkansas Court of Appeals.
Bill Clinton’s law license was suspended for five years in 2001 as an agreed settlement of disciplinary action over his misleading testimony about Monica Lewinsky in depositions taken in a lawsuit against him by Paula Jones. He has not sought reinstatement.
I’ve directed a question about the reinstatement to a Clinton spokesman, but have received no response. She’s been quoted recently as saying she has no plans to run for president again in 2020.
Q - does she think this provides her some level of protection?
“No word as yet on the significance of that.” The significance is that she can once again harass rape victims.
she can represent hunter biden then
She’s running.
Q should’ve advanced the schedule or just gone with the military coup.
Hers was probably on a hiatus. Inactive. You don’t have to do the CLE requirements in many, if not all, states.
At her age she could retire it.
Horrid miscarriage of justice. Arch criminal back in the legal business?
Well, if Hillary were planning to run for president again in 2020, having a suspended law license might look bad. So that would have to be taken care of.
Just sayin’.
Doesn’t she have to take refresher courses to bring her up to speed on the law? She’s only familiar with witness tampering, and destroying evidence.
That was my question. Did she complete any credits or pay someone off? Sumpin’s up.
Probably done so that some potential witness against her can claim “attorney-client privilege.
I also thinks she’ll join the race late, but she’ll be waddling at best, she hasn’t been able to run in years.
Yes, because many don’t understand the lawyers go inactive so they don’t have to take CLE classes and they pay a lower yearly rate to not lose the license.
So yes, if running she should get it active.
She didn’t request. It was administrative. Whe a lawyer is old enough, they get a pass. It’s nothing.
Looking forward to her commercials: “Hi. If you’ve been injured in an accident, got hurt in the workplace, or were injured through the use of a fauly product, call the law firm of Hillary Rodham Clinton.”
Why? Now she has to do all the continuing education requirements to keep it.
Maybe she wants a job working with the Democrats to impeach President Trump. I can see the bitch wanting that real bad.
Lawyers don’t magically go from inactive to being able to practice law at a certain age.
Btw, there would have been a doc she has to fill out every year with her yearly fee.
Attorney/Client privilege with regard to Huma Abedin.
Oh well since I didn’t read the article..maybe it was administrative due to them saying she didn’t need to do CLE requirement.
