Elizabeth Warren Defrauded Asbestos Victims While Practicing Law Without a License
Posted by Daniel Greenfield

Laws? They’re for little people. Laws don’t apply to Harvard professors. They apply to Harvard janitors.
Compassion? Liberals are great at that. Just ask Elizabeth Warren who was paid nearly a quarter of a million dollars to help Travelers Insurance deny asbestos compensation to asbestos victims… and she did it while practicing law without a license. And wearing a fake Cherokee headdress.
After this latest story, I have a feeling that Elizabeth Warren wishes she had run for the Senate in Oklahoma, instead of in Professor Jacobson’s backyard.
Warren represented not just Travelers, but numerous other companies starting in the late 1990s working out of and using her Harvard Law School office in Cambridge, which she listed as her office of record on briefs filed with various courts. Warren, however, never has been licensed to practice law in Massachusetts.

All Brown has to do is ask the “professor” if she has ever had a law license in MA.
Yes or no ??
If she dodges the question or is evaisive in any way she is probably toast.
Brown can point out that since she refuses to answer the question, voters must assume the worst and she broke the law. Use the analogy of a surgeon working with out medical license.
There needs to be a way to really embarrass this dumb broad in the same manner as what happened to that Churchill guy in Boulder, CO.
Do you suppose she will cover this in her legal ethics class?
Lie-a-watha.
This was discovered and researched by William Jacobson, Professor at Cornell Law School.

Not for those with political consequences.
“The U.S. re-electing Obama would be like the Titanic backing up and ramming the iceberg again.”
That is the best analogy I have seen to date on why Obama should not have four more years.

Credit counseling cuts criticized
Boston Herald - Monday, August 9, 1999
Author: JOE BARTOLOTTA
(EXCERPT)
Three years ago, Rosemary DePont was newly divorced and flirting with bankruptcy.
The Taunton mother of three used credit cards for food and clothing, and her debt soon hit $20,000. Today, DePont, 36, is paying her bills, thanks to a credit counseling agency that helped her climb back from the brink of bankruptcy.
And now, consumer advocates say, credit card issuers have caught agencies like the one that helped DuPont in a financial vise.
Fleet Financial Group Inc. and other major credit card issuers are cutting funds to those agencies, saying the organizations could stand a little belt tightening and save money by becoming more automated.
Consumer advocates complain banks are extending credit to more people than ever before, while shortchanging counseling agencies that can educate card users and set up payment plans that prevent bankruptcies.
Critics say the cuts mean people will be turned away and driven into bankruptcy - at a time when banks are pushing Congress to make it harder for people to shed credit card debt.
Some bankers say the agencies have brought the cuts on themselves, by stepping up advertising that’s attracting record numbers to interest-free repayment plans.
Elizabeth Warren , a Harvard University Law School professor who specializes in bankruptcy and consumer law, doesn’t buy that explanation. She says banks are just being greedy.
“The message is, take our cards and spend, spend, spend, and when you get into trouble, we will squeeze, squeeze, squeeze,” Warren says.
“The growth imperative in the credit card industry means that banks have pushed more and more credit into the hands of less and less credit-worthy people,” Warren says.

Interesting!
Democrats don’t care about these little dalliances with the law.
It won’t hurt her a bit.
Nice try, beeotch.
Thanks Libloather.
Never mind criminal, can't her "clients" sue the crap out of her?
OMG!! If she were a REPUBLICAN this would be REALLY be FRONT PAGE NEWS!!
If this story is true, something will HAVE to happen to her.....this is way too blatant, which is why I’m guessing it’s not.

Massachusetts Bar’s Top Lawyer Speaks Out About Elizabeth Warren’s ‘Law License Problem’
http://masslawyersweekly.com/the-docket-blog/2012/09/24/warren-law-license-matter-called-non-issue/
Her intentions were good!!
Mark Steyn coined a really great one, wish I could remember it clearly. "Sac-a-...." something or other.
I was a paralegal before I retired and MA courts do require the BBO (Board of Bar Overseers) number on filings; I don't think other states do, at least not all other states. Anyone know in which state the relevant suits were filed? Though one of the radio talk shows in Boston called the BBO and were told that since Warren is a law professor and was only doing it part-time, it was all A-OK, though the law as written makes no such exceptions. Of course, they may have gotten this answer from the receptionist for all I know! ;-)
The only way she could practice law without a license in her state would be if she was associated with another attorney with the proper license.
If her license in NJ (or Texas?) were current, maybe the "legitimate" lead attorney could file a Motion Pro Hac Vice" to admit her for a particular case, though I never heard of this with the subject attorney not residing or practicing in the state where he or she was licensed. I don't even know if it's possible. (I've only heard of this where a longstanding client of an attorney in one state gets involved in an action in another state and wants his "own" lawyer). You'd think if it were that simple though, she'd have said something.
