Semantics, quit crying about people using them. The practice of law too.

I have seen how judges and prosecutors treat those who they deem not their peers when they are pro se.

I find it amusing that our servants view us as below them.

Might "such a license" be a bar card documenting ones admission/permission to address the court as peer? Either we are equal or we are not.

A private organization cannot issue official government licenses.

The judicial branch cannot issue licenses either as that would be a violation of the separation of powers.

So, no a membership in the bar association is no different than a membership in the NRA, the Sierra Club, the Boy Scouts, etc.

EDIT:

Reminder, The practice of Law CAN NOT be licensed by any state/State. ( Schware v. Board of Examiners, 353 U.S. 238, 239 )

Here is a great example of why we need to check the punctuation in law.

An English professor wrote the words, “Woman without her man is nothing” on the blackboard and directed his students to punctuate it correctly.

The men wrote: “Woman, without her man, is nothing.”

The women wrote: “Woman: Without her, man is nothing.”

So, yes the little things in the law do have meaning.

Got a cite to this? I'd like to read it.

I did not know that there was going to be a quiz. But yes, every word in a statue has meaning as well as punctuation.

I assume you would need to understand the language to discern whether the sculptor used correct punctuation as well as proper spelling, but I agree.

No quiz, this thread stems from some people not looking at how the words are being used in the laws.

This was to help illustrate the point that people are not thinking about what is really being said and what they are reading in the laws too often.

Semantics, quit crying about people using them. The practice of law too.
