DOJ Assistant AG Apologizes to Judge After Illegally Practicing Law for a Couple of Months
“I write to notify you that at the time one or more filings were made in [an ongoing case before the court] in the span of time between October 1, 2019 and December 9, 2019, my name appeared on the federal government’s filing,” Clark begins, “During this time period, my District of Columbia bar license was inadvertently in inactive status.”
Unbeknownst to me, on or about October 1, 2019, my DC bar license had been placed on inactive status for inadvertent non-payment of that year’s dues…To my knowledge, I had not missed a dues payment deadline in any prior year.
Clark was confirmed by the Senate and took office as the head of DOJ’s Environment and Natural Resources Division in October 2018.
As for the filings inadvertently bearing false witness? Clark has been working on the White House’s legal actions against California’s efforts to curb automobile emissions. The Golden State reached an agreement with several automakers last summer to enact a series of standards more stringent than recently-relaxed national standards. The Trump administration cried foul and went after those businesses in a bid to keep fuel efficiency standards low.
