Senior attorneys at the small firm where he worked say he was a strong writer and researcher, but was involved in relatively few cases -- about 30 -- and spent only four years as a full-time lawyer before entering politics.
There is evidence to show that Barack Obama did try cases at both the local and federal appellate levels:
No, he was a lawyer and a community organizer, but wasn't ever in the police.
Not technically. When Obama worked at Sidley and Austin law firm in Chicago, as a civil rights lawyer and teacher of constitutional law, he was assigned a personal mentor- Michelle Robinson, who married Obama, and became Michelle Obama.
no he stayed drug free -- Actually when Obama was younger ( >20 ) his friends said he used Marijuana and Cocaine.
Not any more. Michelle Obama decided to leave the legal profession and focus on helping her husband's political campaign. However, contrary to internet myths, she left the legal field in good standing and could renew her license if she ever decided to return to being a lawyer in the future.
When then-senator Obama knew he was no longer going to be a lawyer (since he had decided on a career in politics), he decided to allow his law license to expire. This is not unusual, and currently, his license is "inactive," which means he is not an active lawyer any more. But since he left the profession in good standing, if he ever decides to return to it, he can renew his license.
NO. A lawyer cannot "dismiss" a case. A judge does that. However a lawyer may request dismissal or be empowered to accept a dismissal on behalf of their client. Although many lawyers put cases on the back burner, forget about them and do not ever notify the client, they should notify the client when they have decided to not continue working on the case.
Nope, he spent the whole time running for POTUS Actually Obama wrote over 1000 bills and passed a little over 800
No, that is a lie spread by The Democratic party to defame him --------------------- It's actually called the Quoran or Koran. Also, I don't believe the Democratic Party ever tried to "defame" Barack Obama.
Actually, Mr. Obama used to smoke cigarettes, and he struggled for a long time with quitting, before he finally kicked that habit. There is not a lot of evidence that he ever chewed tobacco.
It is customary when a lawyer decides he or she is leaving the profession (either temporarily or permanently) to put their license on an inactive status. This means they are no longer practicing, but there is no problem if they decide to return to the legal profession. Michelle Obama was going to be the First Lady, and she was not going to be an active lawyer any more, so she let her license go inactive. She left the profession in good standing, and if she ever does want to be a lawyer again, she can renew her license.
Yes.
No
