Incredibly Late Breaking News
Yes, I am possibly the last person in the universe to learn of this. Some of the blame’s mine. Most, though, belongs to the MSM.
I’ve only just found out that Michelle Obama was disbarred in 1993.
Many people have no idea that this also happened to Bill Clinton, whose Arkansas law license was suspended in 2001 for five years, in connection with you-know-what.
So… Michelle Obama practiced law for a grand total of four whole years.
It takes longer than that to earn your law degree.
And that’s not all. Turns out that she’s on court ordered inactive status, which means that no malpractice record is required (or sought?).
Is this, perchance, to keep something hidden?
What am I going to find out next? That she also worked for Chicago Overlord Richard Daley?

I didn’t know that! “Court ordered inactive status”? So, she did something bad, but not bad enough to get sued? Is that the correct interpretation?

Weasel,
Glad to know that I’m not the only one.
Dunno, is the technical answer to your question. One part of the online document states that she became “voluntarily inactive” whereas another part states that it was “court ordered inactive status”.
I’m no lawyer but that seems contradictory to me.
I smell a rat…

[...] being disbarred in 1993, after practicing law for just four short years, doesn’t seem to have harmed her earnings [...]

Have you bothered to contact ARDC since the contact information was posted for you in your thread at No Quarter a week ago in order for you to follow up to find that your claim is bogus?
No? Why not? Three times on NQ it was stated that you were following up/checking on this.
Here is the info. again. Why not CALL ARDC and correct your misinformation?
“ARDC Registration Department during the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Fridays with the exception of Commission Holidays by telephone at (312) 565-2600 or, from within Illinois, at (800) 826-8625.
You may also contact the ARDC by email at registration@iardc.org or by facsimile at (312) 565-0997″
You don’t really want this thoroughly debunked silly false assertion to remain on your blog, do you? You want to check your story and present facts, right? And correct it after checking it out?

elliewyatt,
Thank you, the careless word has been removed – the suspicion still remains.

“suspicion” based on what?
“court ordered inactive status”… you KNOW at this point that ALL IL licenses had to be “court ordered” (approved by a court judge)to become inactive prior to 1999.
“No malpractice report required”, because she has not been practicing! Sorta like you don’t have to provide proof of car insurance if you don’t have a car.
So you still have “suspicion”. I have suspicion that you have conspired with the man in the moon to steal everyone’s butter dishes. I don’t have a single shred of evidence, proof or reason to believe it, but I do have suspicion.
Maybe I could place a phone call to NASA and ask if there is a man in the moon, like you could call ARDC and ask if there is reason for “suspicion”.
“persistent rumors of insurance fraud”. By commenters on forums who “heard it somewhere” or “think they read it somewhere”. Kindly provide ANY responsible source for this. CALL ARDC and ASK if there were any “insurance fraud” accusations or complaints.
Don’t you want to follow up on your story with pursuit of actual facts?
May 11th, 2009 at 02:22
It was not merely a “careless word”, it was an extremely serious accusation.
If you have a sense of honor and truth, I would expect that you will contact No Quarter and retract your baseless charge, including “rumors of insurance fraud”, having contacted the official overseeing agency, and will post a copy of it here.
Thank you.

Controversy surrounds Michelle Obama’s subsequent jobs with the University of Chicago Hospitals and, to a lesser extent, Richard Daley, not to mention her receipt of a salary for a non-job.
With that, and everything else we know about the Obamas, in mind, I believe there’s good reason why suspicion remains concerning MO’s brief fling with legal practice.

In other words, you will not place a phone call the The Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission to actually find out if there is any truth to your bogus assertion.
And no backup to any source… just supposed “rumors”.
You clearly have a “non-job” here. At least you don’t care to do any work.

Your obsession is getting boring.
Look at how often such whisperings turn out to be true when related to misbehavior by politicians. All I am doing here is stating that there could well be cause for concern – does the conduct of the Obamas preclude that conclusion in your view?
If so, fine. But that’s not my stance.
