"Foreign Comformity"

After an article in the January 2005 issues of the ABA Journal ("Flying Under the Radar," by Molly McDonough) the Bar Association in an article on this morning's Law.com is "urging states that don't admit foreign lawyers to practice to change their ways." Foreign lawyers have already set up shop in the 24 states that allow them, but there's a fear that, if the remaining states don't follow suit, U.S. lawyers will be tossed out of other countries in retaliation.
"Meanwhile," the article continues, "even in the face of reported pressure from the federal government, some in the legal community are steadfastly calling the issue a states' right matter."
