“Our government. . .teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for the law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.” ~ Justice Louis Brandeis

Alaska Bar Association was extended by HB 88 for 4 years until June 30, 2113 by Alaska Legislature on April 19, 2009 and was signed into law by then Governor Sarah Palin on June 20, 2009 per site. TNO addressed Senate Judiciary Committee on April 19 per site.

Please review per site that Mr. Stephen Van Goor, Bar Counsel Alaska Bar Association, stated on February 4, 2009 to House Judiciary Committee: "... bar exam ... (is) designed to illustrate minimal competence to practice law, knowledge of Alaska law, an ability to spot issues, and an ability to thoroughly explain a legal problem in a manner expected of a lawyer ..." On what basis does Alaska Bar Association believe it has a right to continue to deny Thomas S. Obermeyer, Attorney, licensed since 1990 by similar Missouri Bar Exam, a state that has reciprocity with Alaska, an Alaska law license after 25 1/2 years of dedicated effort and expense? Tom has only done exactly as he has been requested by Alaska Bar Association for 25 1/2 years.

Alaska Bar Exam results come out Thursday, October 29, 2009 per site.
