Question

What is "Court ordered inactive status" in regard to Michelle Obama's law license? Did Illinois require a court order to voluntarily inactivate a license in 1993 or does it mean that she was given a choice between voluntarily inactivating a license or face a review and discipline?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

 

She gave up her license to practice voluntarily because she claimed she was "unfulfilled" practicing law. At the time, the only way to go on inactive status was to do what she did - which was to file a petition in the Illinois Supreme Court. She filed a petition 770, which is often done when attorneys want to pursue other careers, retire or begin raising a family. If you have more questions, I will be happy to answer them. Please accept my answer so I can receive credit for helping you. We can always continue our conversation at no additional charge. Thanks!
