aim: Barack and Michelle Obama both surrendered their law licenses to avoid pending disciplinary actions. FALSE Example: [Collected via e-mail, March 2010] Barack Obama — Editor of the Harvard Law Review — Has No Law License? I saw a note slide across the #TCOT feed on Twitter last night that mentioned Michelle Obama had no law license. This struck me as odd, since (a) she went to school to be a lawyer, and (b) she just recently held a position with the University of Chicago Hospitals as legal counsel — and thats a pretty hard job to qualify for without a law license. But being a licensed professional myself, I knew that every state not only requires licensure, they make it possible to check online the status of any licensed professional. So I did, and heres the results from the ARDC Website: She voluntarily surrendered her license in 1993. Let me explain what that means. A Voluntary Surrender is not something where you decide Gee, a license is not really something I need anymore, is it? and forget to renew your license. No, a Voluntary Surrender is something you do when youve been accused of something, and you voluntarily surrender you license five seconds before the state suspends you. Heres an illustration: Im a nurse. At various times in my 28 years of nursing Ive done other things when I got burned out; most notably a few years as a limousine driver; even an Amway salesman at one point. I always, always renewed my nursing license — simply because its easier to send the state $49.00 a month than to pay the $200, take a test, wait six weeks, etc., etc. Ive worked (recently) in a Nursing Home where there was an 88 year old lawyer and a 95 year old physician. Both of them still had current licensures as well. They would never DREAM of letting their licenses lapse. I happen to know there is currently in the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City Indiana an inmate who is a licensed physician, convicted of murder when he chased the two burglars who entered his home and terrorized his family into the street and killed them. (And I cant say I blame him for that, either.) This physician still has an active medical license and still sees patients, writes prescriptions, etc all from inside the prison. And he renews his medical license every two years, too. I tried looking up why she would Voluntarily surrender her license, but Illinois does not have its 1993 records online. But when I searched for Obama, I found this: Voluntarily retired — what does that mean? Bill Clinton hung onto his law license until he was convicted of making a false statement in the Lewinsky case and had to Voluntarily Surrender his license too. President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review, is no longer a lawyer. He surrendered his license back in 2008 possibly to escape charges that he fibbed on his bar application. This is the former editor of the Harvard Law Review who doesn’t seem to give a crap about his law license. Something else odd; while the Search feature brings up the names, any searches for the Disciplinary actions ends quickly. As in, Too Quickly. Less than a half-second quickly on a Search Engine that can take five seconds to Search for anything. As in, theres a block on that information kind of thing. So we have the first Lawyer President and First Lady — who dont actually have licenses to practice law. Theres more to this story, Im sure. Ill let you know when I find it.
