Below is a statement from StateBarWatch founder Frank Lawrence, Jr.: Thank you for visiting the StateBarWatch site. I am sure that you already have two questions in mind, namely (#1) what proof exists that hundreds of thousands of dollars in State Bar dues were spent to finance the licensing officials' bad-faith efforts to stop Frank Lawrence from practicing law?; and (#2) why do the Michigan licensing officials have such a dislike for Frank Lawrence? Click here to see the answer to question #1 (please see Count III, paragraph #39 of the complaint). Click here to see the answer to question #2. Apparently, the Members of the Board of Law Examiners Want More Litigation - and they're going to get it. By April of 2008, and after the State Bar of Michigan nearly spent itself into oblivion, the Bar cleared my character to practice law (click here to see the April 10, 2008 letter). However, in May of 2008, for the first time in Michigan history, the Board of Law Examiners rejected the favorable staff-level decision of the State Bar. The Board said that it had the authority to proceed pursuant to Rule 2(C) of the Supreme Court Rules for the Board of Law Examiners. However, Rule 2(C) only contemplates Board review following an adverse decision by the State Bar. Rule 2(C) states in relevant part "If the committee report shows that an applicant lacks the necessary character and fitness, the Board will review the application, record, and report." Clearly, the Board acted without authority and in excess of its jurisdiction. But wait until you hear the reason why the Board rejected my character. The Board rejected me because of my "criticism" of the Board's members. Click here to see the proof. Nowhere has the Board ever claimed that my "criticism" was false. I have finally found the best weapon against the licensing officials: truthful public exposure. They do not care about lawsuits because the dues paying members finance those. The money does not come out of the licensing officials' pockets. Public exposure is what they hate the most, i.e., the power of political persuasion. Albeit, they can stop me from practicing law, but they can not stop me from truthfully exposing their malfeasance. I multi-stated the Bar Exam in 2001, and I have been fighting these people for many years. Since 2001, I have seen a number of lawyers disbarred for committing crimes of dishonesty (including one of my own classmates - Lisa Londer). Some have even received their licenses back after being suspended for periods of time. I, however, have committed the most heinous and disqualifying offense known to Bar officials: I have criticized the establishment and show no signs of stopping. I am proud of what I am doing, and I intend to continue the fight. | ||||||
