Law school graduation?

[edit]

Recognizing that 40 year old newspaper articles are difficult to find and verify, I've tagged the reference and tagged the law school graduation as dubious. Reason -- the California State Bar attorney search website did not come up with any "Morrow" that would fit BLP. (See: http://members.calbar.ca.gov/fal/MemberSearch/QuickSearch?FreeText=Morrow&x=52&y=6&SoundsLike=false ). Also recognizing that "Patricia Morrow" could be a stage name, I am unable to find a "real name" for her. Nor did the State Bar search come up with a "Brisson" (her spouse). --S.

!The tag is at this point in your investigation unjustified. You should voluntarily remove the tag. Just because Ms. Morrow may not have passed or even sat the California Bar does not mean that she did not graduate from a law school. 1/3 of persons, who graduate from U.S. law schools, never sit a bar in any state, but, instead, use their legal knowledge in other fields like business and social work. This may be the case with Ms. Morrow, who appears from the article to be a social activist of a sort. Along these lines, Glendale University offers an undergraduate degree in law, which includes 60 units of law school course work in its curriculumn, but, does not qualify its recipient to sit the California or any other states bar. The daughter of Glendale University College of Law founder Seymour Greitzer graduated from Glendale University with this B.S.L. degree and, of course, is not and is not qualified to be a lawyer. Go to www.linkedin.com/in/kgreitzer. Columbia University, a school of some considerable prestige, offers an M.S.W. with a minor in law for completion of 16 additional units of adjuntive courses at the University's Columbia Law School, also, itself, an institution of no small reputation. This graduate social work degree, granted jointly by Columbia University's Schools of Social Work and Law, while with 2 additional years of specified work experience qualifying its recipient for licensure as a clinical social worker in most states, however, does not qualify its recipient to sit any states bar. As educational records are confidential, perhaps, you might attempt to contact Ms. Morrow about this matter before jumping to the conclusion that she has not acheived that which is claimed.!

As we do not have WP:V that she passed the bar, a requirement to be a lawyer, I've removed text that says she was a lawyer or did legal work. We have no WP:RS supporting any of the text in this post-acting career section. (And it is quite true that a J.D. degree is helpful in non-legal careers/work.) [Indent and date to IP editors remark above was added by me.]--S. Rich (talk) 15:18, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The text still states she graduated from law school, but no documentation has been provide of that. Therefore the tag is justified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.87.160.61 (talk) 14:00, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
