I have lost the right to practice in a state. There is nothing nefarious.

I knew it. Which of those Daley flights were you on?

The $350 is shocking – that’s what she got from the Hospital…no wait, she got like $350,000, and what with the piano lessons and all, how’s a gal going to make ends meet?

Hasn’t the Illinois bar figured out how to hold those 24 CLE hours in Paris or Rio yet?

Michelle, you certainly don’t expect our lords to sit on a commercial flight amongst the “tired, poor, wretched refuse, taxers that pay for this thievery”, now do you?

A query of the ARDC, the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois, reveals that Michelle Obama “voluntarily” surrendered her law license under “court order”!

Yes…that is not at all inconsistent with what I said. The Illinois Supreme Court sets the standards and rules for licensing. That would be the entity to revoke it if you are not meeting CLE requirements and/or not paying your yearly dues.

And I know the $350 may not seem like much, but it is more than that. Illinois requires 24 hours of CLE credits a year. Not only do you have to attend these, you usually have to pay for them too. That would cost a couple thousand, I’ll bet. If you don’t need your license, why go through the cost and hassle?

If there was some other reason, there would be records of a disciplinary hearing.

Gee, thanks for clearing that up Chap. It must be all that legal speak that confuses those without knowledge. It just seems strange that the wording in the article was:

You are probably correct, save $350 here and $350 there and pretty soon you’re talking real money.

How bad do you have to be to not be allowed to practice law in Illinois? You could drowned kittens in the Buckingham Fountain and not be considered unfit to be a Chicago lawyer.

Again, it in all likelihood had nothing to do with not being fit, and everything to do with the fact that MO was in a job wher she didn’t need a license to practice and did not feel like having to attend and pay for the 24 hours of continuing legal education required in Illinois, as well as the registration fee (I think $289 a year, along with whatever they make you pay toward the Client Defense Fund, so probalably at least $350 or so a year).

…And records show Reynolds took Chicago’s Daley and his wife on 58 flights including ones to Turkey, Asia and Sweden

Come on now, you have to give the devil his due, Illinois politics takes unapologetic rape of the system to new heights. The stories out of that cesspool just get better and better.

Do you think Michelle Obama went on any of these when she was Daley’s personal assistant? You know, right before she lost the right to practice law in Illinois…

I have lost the right to practice in a state. There is nothing nefarious. I wasn’t living there, I wasn’t practicing there, had no intention of ever doing so, and did not want to pay all the fees. I can always get reinstated if I did.

This happens all the time. Unless MO had it revoked as a result of some sort of disciplinary proceeding this is such a non-issue.
