Flashback: Rudy Giuliani Is Not Practicing Law, And Billing Him As Trump’s Attorney Degrades The Value Of A Law License
abovethelaw.com ^ | Oct 2, 2019 | JONATHAN WOLF

Rudy Giuliani is an exaggerated cartoon metaphor for millennials’ slow awaking about the fallibility and tragic decline of their parents. He graduated from law school in 1968, went on to serve as a federal prosecutor, and eventually became mayor of New York. When 9/11 happened, we were all scared and confused, and Rudy stood up there and gave us some confidence in the future. He looked like a leader.

And then, as his star faded, there came a decade of irrelevance. His former prowess battered, but his pride intact, he reached for the spotlight with one final, self-destructive act: enthralling himself to Donald Trump. Rudy Giuliani has become a national embarrassment, not to mention a black mark on the entire legal profession.

Rudy Giuliani is billed as Donald Trump’s private lawyer. And sure, he has a law license. But not everything everyone who has a law license does is lawyering. I went duck hunting with my dad last weekend, and nobody said I was acting as his personal lawyer by going on a duck hunt with him. But they might as well have, because that is pretty much what almost everyone in the media is doing with Rudy Giuliani.

Let’s look at the ABA’s draft model definition of the practice of law. It says:

(1) The ‘practice of law’ is the application of legal principles and judgment with regard to the circumstances or objectives of a person that require the knowledge and skill of a person trained in the law.

Dont know the requirements there..I do know in other states your age or length of practice doesn’t matter. If you aren’t retired or on inactive status you have to take the CLE courses.

The PA thing is the only reason I know he didnt pay his Bar fee. I only glanced at it so dont know details

There was a big ta do about the Obamas license with people not understanding you could go inactive.

I think there is still mystery about what really happened with Michelle’s license.

the second substitute for KREBS at Global Security Forum.

VIDEO: 2:34:08 to 3:00:20 NEXT: Renewing American Leadership: Gen. John R. Allen (Ret), President The Brookings Institution, with Kevin Baron, Defense One.

(paraphrasing) Baron: late scheduling, due to firing of Chris Krebs. we wish him well. incoming Biden admin etc. partial withdrawals from Afghanistan & Iraq - how possible is that, in a safe way, to do?
Allen: these decisions are being made truly in the 59th minute to midnight(sic) in this admin; I think election is settled in most everyone’s minds, except a few folks. what does this mean for NATO & our NATO allies? did we confer with them? my guess is we didn’t. what does it mean for defense contractors, NGOs. CHINA. opportunities for Biden. can’t just be confrontation; we can co-operate on climate change, for instance. Allen ends with best wishes to KREBS for his moral courage in taking a stand.

lol

Love letter :)

Of course Rudy isn’t as sharp as he once was.

But he is not embarrassing himself at all.

And he’s still sharp enough.

the left HATES loyalty and REALLY HATES anyone that doesn’t bow down to him.

This writer didn’t give a #### about Rudy’s great leadership during 9/11.

He just threw that in there to sound impartial.

the left is so easy to see through

I would assume Rudy has a licensed PA attorney sitting at the table with him and is just speaking on behalf of the President as his attorney (with perhaps lapsed license. idk if that matters because really anyone could argue the case with a licensed PA atty present, no?).

Haha I didn't read it all until now. What smug prick. It sounds like he writes more than he lawyers. So no one has to click:

Jonathan Wolf is a litigation associate at a midsize, full-service Minnesota firm. He also teaches as an adjunct writing professor at Mitchell Hamline School of Law, has written for a wide variety of publications, and makes it both his business and his pleasure to be financially and scientifically literate. Any views he expresses are probably pure gold, but are nonetheless solely his own and should not be attributed to any organization with which he is affiliated. He wouldn’t want to share the credit anyway. He can be reached at jon_wolf@hotmail.com.

There's reciprocity between NYS many states.

Rudy is registered in NYS until 2022 when he will register again.

License is for life. But you must also register to practice.

Holy crap I wish I was lucky enough to have Rudy as a lawyer. 2 years ago I was lucky enough thanks to a friend to have dinner with Rudy and my congressional candidate Eddie edwards . It was so cool sitting next to him and talking baseball. We were a party of 8 , I think he was having health problems then but he seems much livelier now.

Reciprocity exists between NYS (where Rudy is registered) and many states.
