Updated With Audio of Warren’s Admission — Professor’s Bombshell Charge: Elizabeth Warren Practiced Law in Mass. Without a License

UPDATE III:

Here’s the audio of the radio interview where Warren acknowledges that she is not a member of the Bar of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts:

UPDATE II:

In an emailed statement to TheBlaze, the author of the Legal Insurrection article, William A. Jacobson, responds to critics who claim his charge doesn’t hold because Warren practiced at the federal level:

It has nothing to do with federal versus state. As detailed in my post, in order to maintain an office for the practice of law or to practice law in Massachusetts, one needs to be licensed in Massachusetts. Separately and in addition, one must comply with rules for admission of attorneys in whatever courts one practices. So a Massachusetts lawyer practicing law in Massachusetts but appearing in a case in Texas, would have to be licensed in Massachusetts and comply with whatever rules the Texas court has on admission of attorneys.

UPDATE:

During an interview on Boston’s 96.9 FM radio show “Jim & Margery” Monday morning, Warren flatly stated that she is not a member of the Bar of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. She also maintains that she doesn’t practice law in the Bay State.

“I have the weirdest things from a guy who says he’s your biggest supporter but says he got an email this morning saying something about — and he’s nervous about this — you resigned from the Jersey bar in the last two weeks and you’re not admitted to the Massachusetts bar. What is that about? Is that true and what’s that have to do with anything?” asked host Jim Braude.

“I’ve been inactive in the New Jersey bar for a very, very long time and they had changes in their Continuing Legal Education and I couldn’t go down to New Jersey and take –” Warren started to respond.

“Are you not admitted to the bar in Massachusetts?” asked Braude.

“No.”

“You’re not admitted?”

“No.”

“Don’t you practice?”

“No.”

“Oh, you don’t. Okay,” Braude said sounding somewhat surprised.

However, as this story continues to unfold, here’s an important point to consider [via a veteran lawyer who wrote National Review’s Jim Geraghty]:

The [Legal Insurrection] 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. I am clearly practicing law when I argue before the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. It does not matter that I am not licensed in Ohio.

The blurb also mentions taking the case to the US Supreme Court. I have submitted an amicus brief in the United States Supreme Court on a case that originated in West Virginia state courts even though I am not licensed to practice there. I was not practicing law without a license when I did so because I was admitted to practice before the Supreme Court.

But also bear in mind the following [via another veteran lawyer who wrote NRO]:

I have practiced law for 30 years. 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.

The Warren campaign has not yet responded to TheBlaze’s request for comment.

Original story below.

It looks like Massachusetts senate candidate Elizabeth Warren’s credibility may take a turn for the worse, and this time it has nothing to do with her claims of Native American heritage.

According to Associate Clinical Professor of Law and Director of the Securities Law Clinic at Cornell Law School William A. Jacobson, Warren practiced law in Massachusetts without a license.

Here’s how he explains it.

During their senate debate last week, Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) “hammered” Warren over her private legal representation of The Travelers Insurance Company in an asbestos-related case.

“Warren attempted to deny her role, and referred to a Boston Globe article, but the Globe article supports Brown’s account,” Jacobson reports.

“The Globe article indicated the representation was for a period of three years and Warren was paid $212,000. The case resulted in a Supreme Court victory for Travelers arising out of a bankruptcy case in New York,” he adds.

But that’s not all.

“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,” Jacobson notes.

“Warren, however, never has been licensed to practice law in Massachusetts,” he adds.

Here’s part of what his investigation turned up [via Legal Insurrection, his blog]:

Warren is not licensed to practice law in Massachusetts. Warren’s name does not turn up on a search of the Board of Bar Overseers attorney search website (searches just by last name or using Elizabeth Herring also do not turn up any relevant entries).

Did Elizabeth Warren Really Practice Law in Massachusetts Without a License?

Courtesy Legal Insurrection

I confirmed with the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers by telephone that Warren never has been admitted to practice in Massachusetts.  I had two conversations with the person responsible for verifying attorney status. In the first conversation the person indicated she did not see any entry for Warren in the computer database, but she wanted to double check. I spoke with her again several hours later, and she indicated she had checked their files and also had spoken with another person in the office, and there was no record of Warren ever having been admitted to practice in Massachusetts.

Warren’s own listing of her Bar admissions is consistent with not being licensed in Massachusetts. In a June 25, 2008 CV  Warren listed only Texas and New Jersey.

Warren’s Texas Bar information indicates she is not eligible to be licensed in Texas, but does not indicate when she went on that inactive status. Consistent with our finding that Warren was not admitted in Massachusetts, Warren listed only one other place of admission on her Texas record, New Jersey:

Did Elizabeth Warren Really Practice Law in Massachusetts Without a License?

Courtesy Legal Insurrection

Warren became licensed in New Jersey in 1977. She famously and speculatively claimed to be the “first nursing mother to take a Bar exam” in New Jersey.

Warren, however, is not currently licensed in New Jersey:

Did Elizabeth Warren Really Practice Law in Massachusetts Without a License?

Courtesy Legal Insurrection

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.

By all available information, Warren never has been licensed in Massachusetts, but at varying times has had active law licenses in Texas and New Jersey, although currently she is not licensed in either jurisdiction. It is unclear whether during the years she represented Travelers and others Warren was actively licensed anywhere.

And this just a part of his investigation. There is much, much more where that came from.

Jacobson’s main point is this: Warren may have violated two provisions of Massachusetts law by a) using her Cambridge office for practicing law without a license and b) actually practicing law without a license. If this is true, and as mentioned in the beginning of this article, Warren’s credibility may take a huge hit — and Sen. Brown will no doubt profit.

    This was a Federal case. She doesn’t need to be licensed in Massachusets to represent someone in Federal court – she needs to be licensed in the jurisdiction hearing the case or admitted “pro hac vice” to appear in the case assisted by local counsel.

    I can’t stand Elizabeth Warren – she is clearly a Marxist kook – but without more information, this is a dishonest story. There is nothing here to suggest she practiced without a license.

      @vic – No, I’m not guessing. I’ve been an attorney for almost 20 years. I’ve practiced in both state and federal court. I’ve handled cases in federal court where the attorney was not only not licensed in my state, but was not admitted to practice in my federal district. He was admitted “pro hac vice” – which is a term you CAN google.

      @quincy – that’s fine, but unless there is something more than I see here, you are being lied to.

      pro hac vice (proh hock vee-chay) prep. Latin for “this time only,” the phrase refers to the application of an out-of-state lawyer to appear in court for a particular trial, even though he/she is not licensed to practice in the state where the trial is being held. The application is usually granted, but sometimes the court requires association with a local attorney.

      @quincy -“Of Counsel” can mean a number of different things. In relation to the pleadings and filings, it would probably mean she advised the attorneys who actually represented the party. She would not have appeared on behalf of a client in court – which means she would not have to be licensed in that particular jurisdiction if it was federal court.

      By way of example, Alan Dershowitz appears in courts all over the country where he isn’t licensed. It simply is not at all uncommon.

      It occurs to me (after reading Prof. Jacobson’s blog) is not whether or not she was “practicing law” without a license – clearly, that allegation is false. The real case Jacobson is making is whether or not she represented herself as a MA attorney by listing her Cambridge address in her pleadings. In legal terms, it’s known as “holding yourself out” as a MA attorney.

      If Prof. Jacobson can point to one single case in all of the 50 states where any attorney anywhere has been sanctioned or prosecuted for listing an address in Federal pleadings where they were not licensed to practice, I will concede the point. But it doesn’t happen. If you meet the requirements to appear in Federal Court, I don’t know of any state court in the land that is going to claim it was illegal.

      Even for a republican.

      “The general counsel for the state’s regulatory body for lawyers told Massachusetts Lawyer Weekly he doesn’t think Warren broke any rules by taking cases sometimes while working as a full-time Harvard professor.

      Law professors might break the rules if they “actually practice” in Massachusetts without a license or have an office there, Massachusetts Board of Overseers GC Michael Fredrickson told Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly.”

      Just one more user of our system. Her kind always find a way to sneak around the system to garner their own needs. Just like she used an indian heritage to get into schools. She learned well to be a sneak and a thief and a totally disreputable person using whatever is nailed down. Her kind we DO NOT need in our government. That gives her an open end to cheat all she wants and use the government to get all she wants, just like nancy pelosi has done.

    It appears more and more that the core of Liberal politicians in this country are nothing more than simple SOCIOPATHs. They will do or say ANYTHING they think will help them beat a Republican or Conservative.

      They’re merely practicing what they’ve been taught. You’ll see a LOT more of this as you get older; watch for the police forces to be fully politicized – our Los Angeles Police Chief (position) has been politicized since the Rodney King fiasco, and the current chief (Charlie Beck) is a political suck-up – his nose has had the L.A. mayor Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa* brown stain on it etched permanently, but he doesn’t mind the odor.

      The L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca is, according to some writers, becoming the Joe Arpaio of California. We Californians should be so lucky…

      * His real name is Tony Villar. Villa-r-aigosa is a combination of his name and his (first) ex-wife’s name (Raigosa). He decided to keep it as is, even after he was dumped unceremoniously by that classy lady, after she found out he was dipping his stick wherever it would fit on whoever it would fit.

      According to Lizzies family lore Native Americans are not required to be licensed as they were here first and don’t recognize the white mans boundries. Therefore she can practice law any where she wants. The main Medicine Man of her tribe has assured her that she is in the right, she can’t figure out which tribe yet, but thats another story.
      Just another example of our glorious leaders in the Democratic Party making up the rules as they go along.

    Warren is a misfit, and obviously should not be elected to public office.

    But…the “Occupy’er” in the WH is guilty of MUCH more than Warren’s comparable picadillo’s…is he even QUALIFIED to sit in the WH?!?

      With Obama the black version of “Alfred E. Neuman” is it no wonder that those that come from within his administration follow the same logical path? No experience but OTJT (on the job training), even another 4 years will not fix what they broke.

      And Warren will only do to Massachusetts what Obama has done to the whole of the country.

    This is a badge of honor for Warren and the dems because she was stickin’ to the man. She don’t need no stinkin’ license!

    Now, ask to see her tax returns for that time period to see if she reported that un-licensed income.

    Maybe native Americans do not need to be licensed. Hmmm

    Well, the man in the White House is practicing presidency without really being a President, so I guess anything goes? It is time to stop all this illegal workings of those to stupid or lazy to go the right route to success. This includes allowing illegal immigrants into this country. It is time to take this country back under the Constitution and prosecute those law breakers making fools out of those who are keeping the laws and operating under the law. This country cannot and should not be expected to operate at the whims of thugs and criminals. It is no wonder many do not have respect for the law when those who are running the country are mocking the laws of this country.

      If you knew anything about this state you would know that. MOST of the people in this state are independant, they vote the person NOT the party. And lizzie can go burn in hell as far as I’m concerned.

      Did she get away with this because she was an American Indian. Why didn’t the Mass State Bar go after her. What she did is a felony and she can be prevented from ever practicing law. When the hell is every one going to be compelled to obey the Rule of Law. The Democrats have set themselves up as some kind of Royalty.

      Muffy;

      There are many examples of lawyers practicing law when their license expired (didn’t renew). The bar does not monitor who is practicing and who is not (I believe it is assumed if you are practicing you get a license). This, however, is quite different from practicing without ever obtaining a license; where again the bar has no indication that anyone is practicing without first getting a license. I venture a guess now the Mass bar may just look into the matter.
