From what I understand (from several lawyer freinds) “giving up” your law license is what you do 2 seconds before they are about to take it away from you for some sort of misconduct.

That's what Slick Willy did if I recall correctly.

SNL needs a skit, similar to Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer...Unlicensed Indian Lawyer.

"Your honor, I'm just a poor Indian squaw. Your modern ways frighten and confuse me. But one thing I do know is that fa from being an ignorant slut, Sandra Fluke has earned the right to free birth control, because when she's on her back, the meter is running."

An aside: Can you imagine the flack from publishing this article that Jacobson might take being at liberal Cornell Law School in liberal Ithaca in liberal New York. Ithaca is a notoriously liberal city, commie center NY, but that’s a redundancy.

Even if it is not October yet, this is a nice time for this to come out. I don’t see how she gets out of this one since normally Criminal charges will be pending soon.

I could see that for some other case, but she does not have a license to practice in her own state of residence. The article goes into detail over this.

The first offense in Massachusetts is a fine or up to 6 months in jail. The second offense is a fine or up to 1 year in jail. She has multiple offenses.

Different states have different laws especially procedural rules. Some state bars have reciprocity with others. My question is has she been admitted to any bar? Doesn’t seem bright enough to pass a bar in any state.

uh beagle, law school teaches you to read the law, sheesh, if you don’t do your research what kind of lawyer are you? just because you are licensed doesn’t mean you don’t have to read the constantly changing statutes

From the time she was a little girl her mother, grandmother and other family members told her she could practice law without a license. So there.

believe me, lawyers practice in more than one state all the time and don’t have trouble applying different rules, can you play poker and also hearts? Monopoly and Candy Land on the same day even? Memorization does a lawyer little good because the statutes are constantly changing and being reinterpreted by the courts.

oh well if she was associated with a firm, the waters are even murkier, they can consult with whomever they like in the pursuit of representing the client, some of them even have disbarred attorneys working at the firm as paralegals, sheesh

The Mass AG will get right on it. ha ha ha...sometimes I crack myself up.

Of course, if Scott Brown had so much as a parking ticket from his college days the media would be treating it like a major felony.

in house counsel perhaps, however if she was doing anything pertaining to Mass, even if she did not go to court, it is still practicing law.

There are states that require local counsel be retained EVEN IF you have in house counsel.

She was not in house.
