I’d like a job as assistant white house counsel, or assistant deputy attorney general in the Office of Legal Counsel, but don’t know how to apply for those jobs (they are political appointments). I’m an attorney.
The vast majority in the Justice Dept are hired not appointed

It seems to me that if I can pass exam I should be able to practice law with out going to law school since legal questions are usually researched not committed to memory.
There are several states where you can still do it the old fashioned way: an apprenticeship. These include California, Maine, New York, Vermont, Virginia, Washington State, and Wyoming. You still must pass the bar exam though. The length of the apprenticeship varies by state.

I know all court records are "public" and while that might mean "if you come to the court and pay us money"… i know that is all easy if you know the case information.
Is there a way to search the history of all cases from one attorney?
I am looking for somebody that would practice in San Diego County.
Attorney discipline is usually handled separately from the court, and those records often are available online.
This site might help you find California records related to attorneys:

The California Bar Association can also probably help you:

and here is some info about getting those records:

Suggest you go to the FindLaw site: http://realestate.findlaw.com/homeownership/
Enter your zip code and get information and ask your question on their forum. Legal professionals will answer your question there.
Just a note: Georgia state law may have other provisions, but on the average, earnest money is generally not refundable. This from FindLaw's Home Buying-Selling Dictionary
Earnest Money
"The deposit money given to the seller or his agent by the potential buyer upon the signing of the agreement of sale to show that he is serious about buying the house. If the sale goes through, the earnest money is applied against the down payment. If the sale does not go through, the earnest money will be forfeited or lost unless the binder or offer to purchase expressly provides that it is refundable."

a lawyer in miami is sewing OPEC in federal court for anti-trust laws; specifically for price fixing.
I would like to see it too. OPEN doesn't set the price for oil. They do, however, have some influence over it, by control how much they produce. This influence is a lot less now than it was back in the 70's, but they still have a little.
Why doesn't this lawyer just sue China and India for increasing their demand. This is probably one of the biggest reasons the prices have skyrocketed. Or sue Congress for not allowing more domestic drilling or new refineries to be built?
*EDIT* – A quick search revealed a ton of articles on the topic: http://news.search.yahoo.com/search/news;_ylt=A0geu99EOVFIJyMATtJXNyoA?ei=UTF-8&p=opec%20lawsuit&fr2=tab-web&fr=slv8-tyc7

Three dozen Southern California high school and college students wearing caps and gowns launched a hunger strike Monday to call for a path to citizenship for illegal immigrant students.
Vowing not to eat and only drink water until Monday, the group launched its campaign at the offices of Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Santa Ana) and plan to protest at the offices of representatives in Pasadena, Bakersfield, San Jose and San Francisco.
The protesters — including graduates and students of UCLA and UC Irvine — say they were illegally brought into the United States as children by their parents. They held signs with messages such as "I Want to Be a Lawyer" and "Bachelor Degree of Science in Chemistry."

I want to win the lotto, I want my car payment paid for,I want Tax Free on everything I buy. So hunger strikes ensure my needs are met?
ya, i want u to give me a million bucks to pay all my debt, but that's not going to happen! your right, since when did it became somebody else's problem about their immigration status? it was their parent's job to get a visa for them. just because they went to school doesnt mean they get all the rights. by all means, go on a hunger strike, it's not my job to feed them. and by the way, these are the same people who benefited the reduced tuition fees that's why we cant afford to send our kids to college.

As the graph shows, the use of the exact term “center-right nation” spiked immediately after election day (point “0″ is the day my column published, point “1″ is election day).
While it’s true – this trend study doesn’t tell us how many of the “center-right nation” references are saying this is “not a center-right nation.” But a look through Lexis-Nexis shows it’s safe to assume that the vast majority of these references are asserting this is a “center-right nation.”
So we’re not talking about theory anymore – we’re talking about empirical fact. The media has exponentially increased the amount of times it claims that this country is a “center-right nation” – at the very same time public opinion data shows the country is a decidedly center-left nation. In short, we have the two hard data points proving that as the country has become more progressive and validated its progressivism on election day, the media has increased its claims that the nation is conservative.

Well, I guess it depends on who you ask, the corporate media, or a cross section of American society. I'd like to investigate how long this notion of a "center-right nation" has been the dominant view held by the popular (by their own PR) media pundits. I don't think it's always been this way with them. Edward R. Murrow, anyone?
I'm not sure the other respondents understood your question.
You could always ask Karl Rove:

I am in my 2nd year in UK studying Law, I want to finish my 3rd year and then I would like to begin my career in New England US, what do i need to do when I graduate?
Warning! Jobs in the field of Law in the US are dryingup FAST!! This is NOT a good field to invest in if you are planning on moving to US. Many reasons. Main reason?….We simply have WAY TOO MANY Lawyers here! – we have a GLUT!
Now if you want a JOB when you move to US, consider and look into the field of HEALTHCARE!< This is where the jobs are in US! and scholarships! Especially with your background.
Good luck.

It is a very small disturbing the peace charge. Id hate to drag this out longer than it should have been. Plus i dont have the $ to waste on attorney if i lose. If found guilty im going to man up to consuquences but need to knw if good or bad idea to hire attorney. Once again case may be hard to win.
HONESTLY I DONT BELIEVE IM GUILTY
I plead not guilty & going to trial shortly.
You don't know if the case is hard to win, because you are not an attorney!
Some lawyers will give their first consultation for free.
