Someone had better find a pleading that allowed her to argue the case "pro haec vice" for this case only......If not, like Lucy she'll have "some 'splaining to do"

Speaking to Boston's 96.9 FM radio program "Jim and Margery" on Monday, Democratic Senate challenger Elizabeth Warren admitted that she is not licensed to practice law in Massachusetts.

Quote:

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.

From the article she stated that she gave up her NJ law license because she couldn't keep up with the Continuing Education (CLE) requirement. It's 24 hours over 2 years over 12 hours a year!!!!
New Jersey Courts
And you can usually get it for under $200 and sometimes even online....
She couldn't find one long day a year to keep up with CE??????
Wow, I have three times that requirement for my licenses in my profession and I exceed that minimum easily.........
As a professor didn't she have the months of June,July and August off class????

Re: Lieawatha practice bad law medicine.

Well when she fraudulently claims to be an American Indian, why would anyone be surprised she practices law fraudulently without a license?

Re: Lieawatha practice bad law medicine.

I hope she isnt lying about being a Democrat.

Re: Lieawatha practice bad law medicine.

She could have.....

* Alerted Whitey Bulger that he was going to be arrested.
* Cleaned the knife OJ killed his wife with.
* Burned the town of Lawrence in the 80's.
* Helped Chuck Stewart

As long as she has a D next to her name, she still has a good chance
to win in Massachusetts.

The post indicates that this is a federal case. You do not need to be licensed to practice law in Massachusetts to practice law in federal courts located in Massachusetts or anywhere else. Federal courts decide who can practice before them, and individual states can’t tell federal courts that an attorney cannot practice before them. It’s that whole supremacy clause thing. Constitution 101 and all that.

It is really well established that a federal district court can admit an attorney to practice before it even if the attorney is not licensed in that state. You most certainly do not need to be licensed in the state where a federal court of appeals sits to appear before the federal court of appeals.

It may be that she needed someone to move to have her admitted pro hac vice and that may or may not have been done. I don't know.

But it might be smart to wait and see.

Just so no one looks gullible or anything.

.

Truebut two things comes to mind
1) She needs someone to support her "pro hac vice" application and there has to be a written record of that.She has to reveal to the court whether she is admitted to practice in that court or have someone to support her application.
2) She hasn't revealed her list of cases that she worked on and whether any were non-Federal cases which would pose a problem. In light of this disclosure, do you think she should reveal the list to determine whether she worked on any state cases??
