You are quite correct. As I said above, they take that shit seriously in Texas. Latest reporting from WSJ says that the press secretary failed her bar exam in Cali.

There are tons of jobs for JD's that don't require appearing in court. But the practise of law includes lots of things that don't involve going to court. But it is also a crime in Texas to practise law without a license issued by the bar association. You can't even give legal advice in...

It is amazing how hard the MAGA faithful will try to defend this lady. I know you have to try again, because all of the examples you gave in your first post required a call to the bar! This has almost nothing to do with the ABA, it is all about state bar associations, who are alive and very...

Instead of the 5k or in addition to?

You have not been following. Or are ignoring what has been said. None of mdwest's examples were people who were allowed to practise without being called to the bar and writing a bar exam. They are examples of new mobility rules (which apparently you are not familiar with - most non-lawyers...

So it's cool if someone who never held a commission to hold themselves out as a military officer?

I think it is a little more nuanced and restrictive than that. For instance in the link you posted those rules only apply to lawyers who are in good standing members of another states's bar and: "Corporate Counsel Registrants may not: (1) practice Virginia law; (2) represent their corporate...

Actually I am confident you do need to pass the bar exam to practise law or hold yourself out as an attorney or practising law. A law school degree is not a license to practise law, it is just a degree. The license is required to offer legal services to the public etc. Your daughter should...

Anyone criticizing the search without having a good understanding of what the warrant was based on is being unwise. Generally speaking the American judicial system works quite well. People are in too big a hurry to get to judgment these days. Some things take time to become clear.

So the Santa Claus parade is political? Tough crowd. Being pro-Palestinian is political in the sense you use it. Being Palestinian is a status. It's a subtle but important difference. Marching, in uniform, in either parade would be prohibited under our regs. You make an important point...

You really don't understand how loser pays works in Ontario if you persist with your question. Nobody I know, me included, charges 40 points for PI cases in any context. But you do like to talk about things you don't understand about litigation up here. Let me help you. In the loser pays...

In Canada, being gay is not political, any more than being Christian, or being depressed, or being a native Canadian is not political. Our citizens have a right to be those things without legal punishment or discrimination, so our military will go to Christian events, or gay events, or Sikh...

Polar bear and wolf are great hunts if they are to your taste.

It's actually a little more complicated than that because we have a loser pays system in Ontario. I bet you arn't familiar with that. It means that the losing party pays a significant part of the winner's legal expenses. But no, I do not work for the government or for free. You are not...
