CONFIDENTIAL / works in
progress:
missing and defective licenses
to practice law in the State of California
TO: U.S. Department of Justice
This is a brief summary of
recent updates by The Credential Investigation
concerning the correct meaning
of "license to practice law" in the State of California.
Rule 9.7. Oath
required when admitted to practice law
In addition to the language required by Business and Professions
Code section 6067,
the oath to be taken
by every person on admission to practice law
is to conclude with
the following: "As an officer of the court,
I will strive to
conduct myself at all times with dignity, courtesy and integrity."
Our latest research has not
confirmed any other relevant changes to
Sections 6064 and 6067 of the
California Business and Professions Code,
also known as the State Bar Act.
Consequently, our studied professional
conclusions are as follows:
(a) a proper CERTIFICATE OF OATH must be
indorsed ("in dorso")
on the back side of each proper CERTIFICATE OF ADMISSION (front
side):
(b) registered "members" are the
legal custodians of their own
licenses to practice law as
defined in (a) above:
Please refer to this next page
at the website of The State Bar of California
for "samples" of
STANDARD WALL CERTIFICATES and
CUSTOM WALL CERTIFICATES:
The latter appear to be the front
sides of blank
CERTIFICATES OF ADMISSION.
However, there are no back sides
visible on that web page,
"certificate [of
admission] shall be his license."
cf. margin note: "Certificates
of admission."
"Fraud" is variously
defined to mean a failure to disclose
what should have been disclosed.
From all the above, we must
infer that all registered "members"
of The State Bar of
California are very probably committing fraud
whenever they either fail or refuse to disclose true and
correct copies
of their licenses to practice
law in the State of California,
as that word "license"
is defined above i.e. both sides.
