Fauxcahontas Practices Law In Massachusetts Without A Law License? UPDATE: Maybe Nothing After All
Above the post update: Added the question mark because, well it might be nothing after all. Warren was licensed in New Jersey until two weeks ago. The cases Legal Insurrection lists are federal and wouldn't require a MA law license.
Original (and in doubt) post: Via Andy, Legal Insurrection catches the great liberal hope in a potentially felonious situation. I don't want to steal LI's big scoop, so go over to his place for the details on how the great liberal hope was representing clients in Massachusetts without ever getting around to being accredited by the state bar association. That seems like the kind of thing a "consumer advocate" like Elizabeth Warren would be against, no? Following the report, Warren admits LIComments

Yes, that is how radical left some of my FB friends are.
I keep 'em to know what the hard left is thinking.
She has done a lot of shit in her life that would get a simple, country lawyer like me thrown in jail.
You all do realize that Warren was another Weiner, a person being groomed by the Dems for higher office?
What's funny is, the guys running the show are the ones who picked the JEF. And after that pick, they were assumed they could do no wrong. And, they kicked out all the moderate or lite-conservative members of the steering committees.
Which is why you are seeing radical leftist time-bombs--they have no clue what they are doing, got lucky with the JEF, so very lucky.
This election really is the last gasp of the left--they have gone all in.

Having read the article at LI, my guess would be as follows: 1) none of the underlying cases she worked on would be vacated. It appears that most of them had other counsel (presumably one of them was licensed in Mass.) and thus no basis for vacating the judgments, verdicts, etc. 2) generally, the unathorized practice of law is a criminal matter...most states treat it as a misdeameanor and, as such, the liability is rather personal in nature and 3) I am not holding my breath on the Commonwealth to start prosecuting.

I don't expect the two Boston papers, the Glob and Herald to pick up on this. It's one of those "business as usual" things. Yeah, the Herald dislikes Fauxcahontas, but it needs all available space to go after Whitey Bulger and pimp Da Sox.

Basically, she could have met her CE requirement easily, as she surely attended several legal conferences a year.
So, it boils down to, she was too damned cheap to pay a couple a hundred bucks a year.
Oh, wanna know something else? You know another benefit of practicing without a license? She didn't have to set up an IOLTA account (interest on lawyer's trust account).
When you hold money in trust for clients--e.g., recover settlement but haven't billed for fees yet, advance on retainer, etc.--it supposed to be in a separate account that earns interest. That interest is paid to the state bar to fund legal services for the poor. It's a huge part of the legal aid groups funding.
And Lizzy was stealing from them.
What she did was unethical as hell.
Or, just another day for Lizzy Warren.

True. Very true. Okay, then I'll change my caveat to even the Supreme Court isn't that stupid. Individual justices, yes (*GLARES AT ROBERTS*), but the entire Court? No. I have to believe that at least one of the Justices would have noticed the address on whatever legal brief he or she was reading and say, "Um, isn't this Harvard? Sooo... Is this okay?"

The Syrian president, who has slaughtered thousands of his own people in a vicious civil war in the past 18 months, is “the descendant of a dynasty of a man named Suliman al-Wahash who arrived in Syria in 1860 or 1870 from Isfahan in Iran,” an Egyptian sociologist interviewed by the station claimed. Records show “this to have been a Jewish family,” the interviewee said, in a clip broadcoast by Israel’s Channel 10 news on Thursday.
In fact, the Assad family, members of the minority Alwaite sect, hails from Qardaha in northwest Syria. It is said to descend from one Ali Suleyman, who changed the family name to Assad — lion — in the 1920s.
Critics of Bashar Assad over the years, the Israeli TV report noted, have also claimed he had a Jewish lover and that one of his daughters was married to a Jew.

Did you set up an IOLTA account?
You wanna know how to lose you law license even if you did nothing wrong? Have one firm account and mix client funds with your own.
Even if you keep perfect records and tack every penny--your ass is in trouble if the state bar finds out.
Because you're stealing money from the indigent services and you are still mis-using client funds. "But, I put it all back!" is not a defense.
Now, we have an unlicensed lawyer who is mixing client and personal funds?
Oh, BTW: I'd like to remind you MA lawyers that you have an ethical obligation to report ethics violations you personally know about to the bar. And your failure to report those violations could subject you to sanctions for violations of the ethics rules.

"Iran" means "land of the Aryans." It went into popular usage worldwide when the Shah told the League of Nations to refer to his country as "Iran" instead of "Persia" (Persia being one of the regions of Iran, but not the whole country). Up until that point, the nation had been known internationally only as Persia, and only internally as Iran.
He made the request in 1935.
Not too hard to connect the dots there.

One of the secular forces in the so-called Muslim world, or earth to the rest of us, has long been spin-off political parties and intellectual influences from Nazi or fascist sources. Of course it's never unimportant to point out that Mein Kampf, or My Jihad, is a big seller in the Middle East.
The Muslim Brotherhood collaborated extensively with Hitler along with the Mufti of Jerusalem. Baathists can draw a straight line back to Hitler. And many former Nazis escaped to Arab countries. In the case ofPersiait was an affinity for the new Nazi mythology of Aryans in the past being a super race and whatnot.Modern terror groups like HAMAS and Hizballah, Iranian proxy armies, do the Nazi salute.

I've been pondering the idea that the arts in general are going to move back to a patron system. That's effectively what Kickstarter is when applied to music. Musician X needs money for studio space, ramen, the good weed, whatever. I want more music from Musician X. Musician X says hey kick me some money and I'll make you some music. Not only that but I'll make sure that the world knows that you are involved. My ego is flattered, I get more music, Musician X gets to bag the groupies. It's all good.
There's no reason that can't be applied to writing. Hell, look at Michael Yon. He's more or less doing direct reader supported investigative journalism.

Early on, I actually thought she had a good chance to beat Brown.
The lesson conservatives need to take away is: candidate quality (and experience) counts!
Had Democrats in Massachusetts ran a boring, consensus Democrat with a political office under their belt, Brown would have probably been beat. And that Democrat would have had 99.9% of the same voting record as the outspoken socialist Elizabeth Warren.
It's the same when Republicans ran dingbats like Sharon Angle, Christine O'Donnell, or Ken Buck. You can fuel a Senate candidate on just bumper sticker slogans.

According to reports from listeners, she claimed that she does not maintain a law practice. She also "said that she gave up her New Jersey license because she could not keep up with the Continuing Education requirements," according to one listener who commented on Breitbart's Monday story, "Does Elizabeth Warren Have a Law License Problem?".
Ms. Warren's statement comes as a surprise to the many clients she's provided legal services to over the past decade, including the law firm of Simpson, Thacher, and Bartlett, which listed her as "of counsel" in the 2009 brief they submitted to the United States Supreme Court on behalf of their client, Travelers Insurance.
Posted by: Breitbart is Here at September 24, 2012 12:04 PM (e8kgV)
Also, her suspending/ending her NJ license is, per his post, a way to make it harder to find out information about her practice.
And I still think the point 4 of his post is a problem for Warren. Brief excerpt:
"Massachusetts Rule of Professional Conduct 5.5 provides in pertinent part that the obligation to be licensed has some narrow exceptions. None of those exceptions apply to Warren (emphasis mine):
(b) A lawyer who is not admitted to practice in this jurisdiction shall not:
(1) except as authorized by these Rules or other law, establish an office or other systematic and continuous presence in this jurisdiction for the practice of law; or
(2) hold out to the public or otherwise represent that the lawyer is admitted to practice law in this jurisdiction."
You know, I am always reading about how unhelpful it is for conservatives to ever point out flaws in Romney's campaign (or policy flaws) because it's not team play. Seems to me what is happening with this storyline is similar. Let Jacobson finish his work.
It seems possible to me that he's been investigating for a while, she was tipped off, and now she's trying to cover her tracks. Instead of saying "oh never mind, this is probably nothing" why not help Jacobson?

My husband is licensed in New Jersey and is an attorney with the State AGs office. The MCLE requirements are not onerous, something like two 3-hour classes a year. They do require ethics training every two years. It's possible Warren never did that and that's what she is trying to cover up now.
It's also possible that her campaign just decided it looks bad for her to be licensed only in New Jersey and not in Massachusetts, even if she never had to be licensed in MA to do the work she did. The NJ bar membership also reminds people that she went to an inferior NJ law school -- Rutgers -- which also brings up questions of how she got tenure at Harvard. She is the only Rutgers law grad on any Ivy League law faculty.
All this points back to Warren being a blatant affirmative-action hire at Harvard, and before that at Penn. They lowered their standards to the basement to hire her, whether because she filled the minority box with her fake-Indian heritage, or because of her gender.
She is a fraud and a phony.

Seems to me if she wasn't practicing law in Mass, then there's no reason for her to have been licensed in the state. Her backpedaling now is about not looking bad to voters, which it's hard to imagine how she could look worse. But if she did nothing illegal/unethical (yeah, lawyers and ethics... what a hoot!), then this is only a matter of whether the voters want to fault her for not being a real Massachussian.

NJ law school -- Rutgers -- which also brings up questions of how she
got tenure at Harvard.
This is why I say that most of academia, and especially law school, is not education, it's credentialization.
How is it that after 3 (THREE!) years of law school, a Rutgers grad cannot become a "better lawyer" than a Harvard grad?
Because there is no such objective standard. It's all credentialization and if you manage to worm your way into a top law school, then you're set for life, even if you're a drooling imbecile.
As a mathematician, I could never figure out how affirmative action works. I mean, don't those people just fail miserably? Plus, I know incredibly successful mathematicians who went to awful grad schools. It's what you do, not where you were. Certainly, some credentialization creeps in, it always does, but these screens are in no way scientific.
Not in the wussmanities, social-promotion sciences or law. There, it's about credentialization and there's no amount of failure that goes unrewarded. Hell, look at Jamie Gorelick, who got a job at Fannie Mae even though she knows nothing about finance. Her Harvard Law degree was her ticket everywhere.

Some attorneys only practice at the tax office (the IRS) or the patent office (the USPTO), but they still need to be an attorney in good standing in the state in which they are practicing.
By allowing herself to be listed as Of Counsel to a firm in which she was not actually affiliated, Warren intentionally led the public to falsely believe she was licensed in Mass. That is illegal.
Hmmm, let's see now ... Warren (again), Obama (many infractions), Julian Castro and Antonio Villaraiguso at the DNC Convention (pretty much their entire life stories), I think I may see a pattern emerging here ....

Uh... she was practicing Law... from an office in Mass... and State law says she needs to be in the Mass Bar, to practice Law, from an Office in Mass.
At least thats the way I read it.
She was also apparently doing FOR profit work, from the site of a Non Profit (Harvard), even using staff and students from the institution.... which is a problem for Harvard (and its non profit status).

Unqualified applicants are admitted over qualified applicants. Said unqualified applicants subsequently struggle with their classes/jobs. Many drop out. Those that graduate, however, continue in their life-long struggle for competency.

Well in Venice we could try to visit the grave of that 500 year old
'vampire.' Research it could be billed as. They shoved a brick in her
mouth to prevent her undead self from feeding on others. There is also
the Oriental Museum. Palazo San Marco. But after that, nuke the whole
place. Anger over the Fourth Crusade still nestles in my bosom.

I have spent some time in courtrooms (strictly as a visitor), and one of the amazing things to watch is the difference between what happens when a lawyer says something vs. anyone who is not a lawyer.
For example, if you stand before a judge and say "your honor, I didn't do it," the judge is going to sentence you to the maximum penalty he can. If a lawyer stands in front of a judge and says "your honor, my client didn't do it," all other things being equal, and you're going to get a much better deal that way.
I'm sure lawyers do some other things, but from what I've seen, that's pretty much it. That's why they get the big bucks.

In the corporate world, if an AA hire turns out to be incompetent, they're shunted off to non-critical tasks where they'll do the least damage. Keeping them on the payroll is consider a cost of doing business.
IBM had quite a few of them. Many turned out to be useful productive employees, others were worthless and got shunted.

Not in law school. Yale has no grades. Harvard has a 97% graduation rate, which includes people who die or who just get high and wander off.
I suppose there would be some people who flunk their math class...if law school had math classes.

Don't know if this has been discussed yet...From NRO...
Your correspondent is correct that a federal court can permit an attorney from a state outside the state wherein the federal court sits to appear before that court. The practice is called “pro hac vice,” which is Latin for “for this occasion.” Here are the pro hac vice requirements for the District Court of Mass, which would be the relevant court in this case.
However, this does not conclude the issue. There would still need to be an attorney licensed in Mass. who moved for Ms. Warren to be admitted pro hac vice for the case at hand. Such a document would have to be in the docket of the case as to which she was representing her client. If Ms. Warren simply filed pleadings without first being admitted to the court pro hac vice, she would be implicitly representing to the court that she was, in fact, licensed to practice in Mass., and if she was not so licensed, she would have violated the court’s rules, and, in effect, have committed a fraud upon the court.

I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know, but I'm going to guess what will happen here is we're going to find out she was either: 1. not practicing, or 2. what she was practicing wasn't "law," or 3. if she was "practicing law," it wasn't "in" Massachusetts.
We'll see.

I love the Daily Callers piece today titled: Full audio of 1998 Obama "redistribution" speech: Obama saw welfare recipients as "majority coalition".
Obama also said he viewed welfare recipients and “the working poor” as
“a majority coalition” that could be mobilized to help advance
progressive policies and elect their champions.
and
At one point on the tape he suggests that the “working poor” on welfare are a political voting bloc that can be harnessed.

My husband holds his own with many Ivy League-trained lawyers now and beats them regularly in court. He won moot court competitions in law school and awards for legal writing. He clerked at DOJ. He passed the Virginia bar exam on his first try. But that didn't get him a sniff from any DC law firms, and it hasn't since, because he didn't have the credential from the big name school. Many law firms advertise that they only want applicants who were in the top 10% of their class at a top 10 law school.

You see this all the time when reading the "definitions" sections of legislation and various laws. You'll often see redefinitions of common place words with well understood layman's meanings to mean something else entirely in the body of the text.

Also, that a Federal Court does not require admission to a particular state bar does not mean that she didn't violate Massachusetts state law.
"No individual, other than a member, in good standing, of the bar of this commonwealth shall practice law,
or, by word, sign, letter, advertisement or otherwise, hold himself out
as authorized, entitled, competent, qualified or able to practice law"
On the face of the Mass. statute, even holding oneself out as a lawyer is illegal if not admitted to the bar.

Actually what Jacobson said was that on September 12 she WITHDREW her license in New Jersey. That's not the same as letting your license lapse
By withdrawing her license, she has made it more difficult for Jacobson and others to find out when exactly her license expired. It could have been long before Septemter
Posted by: Victoria at September 24, 2012 02:01 PM (tV5ow)
Go back and read what Jacobson wrote.
While the date of termination of her New Jersey license is not on the website, telephone inquiries to the New Jersey Board of Bar Examiners and the New Jersey Lawyers Fund For Client Protection indicated that Warren resigned her license on September 11, 2012 (one of the people remarked to me “that’s a memorable day”). It’s odd that in the middle of a campaign Warren would take the time to resign her New Jersey Bar membership, particularly since she would have to retake the Bar exam to be readmitted.
Neither office in New Jersey could state whether her license was continuously active until her resignation because the computer only shows the current status, so I have made the request in writing as instructed. By resigning her New Jersey license earlier this month, Warren made it more difficult for the public to determine her pre-resignation status.
