I have verified that your information is incorrect by reading current Wash. Supreme Court
Rules and checking for any superseding case law. I have also consulted the official Wash.
State Bar Assn. web site. YOUR INFORMATION IS WRONG!

Yesterday you said "Mary" was the director of the Washington State Bar -- today you say
she is staff manager -- her title on the Wash. state bar assn. website is "Staff Liaison"
for the board of examiners. Your facts keep changing and don't agree with the official
web site of the Wash. bar. You can see "Mary's" title on the following web page:
[http://www.wsba.org/lawyers/groups/lawexaminers/default1.htm]

The Chairman of the Wash. Bar Examiners Committee is Joseph Nappi, Jr. I will send him a
certified letter Monday and include a copy the purported email from his employee "Mary."
I'm sure he will be fascinated to learn from his secretary that CA DL attorneys have
special status that allows them to skip the ABA requirement. It is unfortunate
that "Mary's" email does not cite any Supreme Court case in which they supposedly ruled
that only CA attorneys don't have to have an ABA degree so we can look it up to verify
that it is a fact. I asked you again to get a case citation that supports your claim that
no ABA degree is required from CA attorneys. (Do you know what a case citation is?)

Suggest you get off your phone and keyboard and read the law. I don't know what "Mary" is
telling you but her opinion is not law. I suspect you have misunderstood her comments to
you just as you misunderstood her title to be "Director of the Wash. State Bar."

Really LD get something in writing (not an email with grammar that sounds like a 7-11
clerk wrote it) And get it from someone who is a little more of an authority than a
secretary.
