Warren faces question over law license in latest accusation to roil Senate race

**SNIP**

Warren had to have had an active state bar license when applying to try cases before the high court, according to the Supreme Court. So the more questionable issue appears to be whether Warren practiced state-level law from her Harvard office without a Massachusetts license.

Warren was paid $212,000 for three years of work in a case that involved thousands of asbestos victims and was “notable because Warren, who has gained fame for defending consumers against big business, was in this case working on behalf of a big business,” The Boston Globe wrote.

In addition, Warren, as a Harvard Law professor in 1995, attempted to help the LTV steel conglomerate avoid paying $140 million in benefits to retired coal miners, The Boston Herald reported Tuesday. Warren wrote a petition to the Supreme Court challenging a lower court ruling for the miners. The high court never took up the case, but Warren was paid roughly $10,000, according to documents obtained by the newspaper.

The Warren campaign had not responded to requests to verify whether the candidate has a license in Massachusetts or elsewhere.

Probably easier to find her Cherokee birth certificate than it is getting an honest answer out of her.

It's not always easy to stay abreast of the various licensing requirements.

“...or her maiden name, Herring”

Ah, so she is an engine. Engines use names of animals all the time, and she’s named after a fish.

So we all owe her an apology...

It should have been easy to pass the Mass. Bar, or else just have a local attorney motion for her to handle a case pro hac vice. But these liberal elite types just do things the way they want. It is NOT hard to know you need to be admitted when you practice before a state court. It’s lawyering 101.

Just as interesting, miss anti-Bein Capital, social activist, tried to deny workers how many millions on behalf of the big bad railroad??

She could do her Supreme Court work and out of state work without being licensed in Massachusetts, but she needed to be licensed somewhere. You have to be an active member of some state’s bar to be admitted to the Supremes bar.
