Is Kav violating any by-laws of the attorney licensing board?

[mysteryowl]

Maybe they will put his license to practice law - under review and on hold?

1. Highly unlikely.

2. He doesn't need a license to practice law

He doesn’t practice law. He’s a judge.

3. Interesting. I thought judges were attorneys

4. No

Judges can’t be attorneys.

Most judges used to be attorneys, and that is the norm. But they quit being an attorney when they became judges. Most probably keep their licenses current, but they don’t need a law license to be a judge. That would be absurd, for a state licensing authority to have veto power over federal judges.

5. You don't need a law license to be on the Supreme Court.

All of the justices have been lawyers but technically that's not required. And since judges don't practice law (they don't represent clients), they wouldn't need a current law license anyhow.

6. No constitutional qualifications to be a SCOTUS judge

Several have been foreign born.
Theoretically, a 16 year old High School student could be appointed.

7. All the above comments noted

that doesn't mean that if is found to have lied under oath that he should not be removed from the bench and from that time forward barred from returning to a law practice. I do believe that evidence of perjury would prevent any future licensing, but I'm not well-versed in those specific requirements.

8. You are awesome

Hopefully fbi finds something to keep him off the Supreme Court at least.
