  • Admitted to the bar

    From micky@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jul 3 20:59:13 2024
    if someone is a member of the bar of the USSC, does that mean they've
    argued a case before the USSC? Or at least planned to and were
    admitted and then didn't for some reason, but does it mean at least they expected to?

    I just read that my brother's aunt was admitted to the bar of the USSC,
    Fed court of the Eastern District of Penna, and US Tax Court. And I want
    to tell my brother if that's what it means. She and her hsuband
    practiced law together for about 50 years.

    No. It just means someone who was already a member of the USSC bar
    nominated them, they were admitted, and now are eligible to argue a case
    before the Court. I was admitted to the USSC bar more than 45 years ago,
    and I've never argued a case there.

    No, it just means that now you are allowed to argue a case there. Most
    people who are admitted never argue a case, but it's a prestigious
    thing to put on your resume if you are a lawyer and has minor perks
    like access to the court's library.

    Thanks and thanks all. I think I'll still tell my brother, but I won't
    make a big deal about it.
