+1 million. She could identify as being from the moons of Jupiter and it would not make a lick of difference on whether she was admitted to the Bar or not.  You either pass the Bar exam or waive in based on your previous documented years of practice.

Her family thought they had Cherokee ancestors. My family has similar lore, but the story was much less developed.  It's not uncommon and certainly isn't getting you ahead with the State Bar.[/quote]

Have you ever written down 'native american' as a race? [/quote]

No, but my husband, who loves to dog on Elizabeth Warren, loves to tell people about it.

I finally had to break it to him that what's gone on in my family is what went on in Warren's, except with mine the Cherokee ancestor was allegedly several generations back, so was much more diluted even if it was true.[/quote]

So you are fully aware that you claiming Cherokee heritage would have been complete BS.

Maybe your husband is a hypocrite but you seem perfectly aware of what she did wrong since you'd never have done it yourself.[/quote]

Claiming Cherokee heritage /= claiming tribal membership, right? [/quote]
