Equal Justice Under Law

Lawyers United Inc. has filed a petition in the United States Supreme Court asking the Court to exercise its supervisory review over the federal district courts and either summarily abrogate federal discriminatory licensing rules that deny equal and general admission licensing privileges to otherwise qualified sister-state attorneys in good  standing as in United States v. Windsor (invalidating a federal statute prohibiting the federal government from providing full faith and credit to gay marriage licenses), or grant certiorari and review this federal licensing discrimination against out-of-state attorneys. See attached Petition Lawyers United Inc. v. United States, Supreme Court docket 21-XXXX. _______[Petition-for-Cert-Complete.pdf]

Lawyers United Inc. is further in the process of challenging State Supreme Court out-of-state attorney licensing rules that deny full and equal admission on motion privileges for experienced attorneys with more than three years of service and for new lawyers admitted in UBE states or non-UBE states. LU wants the same full faith and credit rights for licensed attorneys that have been provided for gays and lesbians under Obergefell v. Hodges (requiring States to provide full faith and credit to gay and lesbian marriage licenses).
