The Governor’s Attorney
First, we find that the Governor’s Attorney, Eric Stern, apparently tried to influence the outcome of a quasi-judicial proceeding in violation of the other side’s due process rights. Now we find out the guy is not even licensed to practice law in Montana?
What gives here?
Good research and information.
“What gives here” is the Montana media routinely looks the other way on issues that deal with folks they admire and adore (Schweitzer, Baucus, etc.).
Since you and Missoulapolis have brought this to the public’s attention and did most of the research on it, the Montana media will look completely foolish if they don’t report it.
We can only hope so, Jack.
Seems like the problem isn’t just Stern’s. How could the governor hire him without vetting him or knowing he didn’t have a license to practice law in Montana? That seems pretty elementary, doesn’t it? Was he hired just because he worked on a campaign?
Does Stern have his signature on legal documents that are now invalid because he isn’t an official lawyer in the eyes of Montana law?
By the way, when anyone refers to the Governor’s Attorney, they probably ought to put “Attorney” in quotes.
Maybe we should put “Governor” in quotation marks.
What’s the going rate for hiring an attorney that isn’t licensed? Hopefully the salary discount for not being licensed will cover all the expenses to clean up this mess, but I doubt it will.
