Rules for thee but not for me? Well it didn’t quite work out for Kim Foxx and she’s no longer allowed to practice law in the state of Illinois.
She was the Cook County State Attorney who tried to let Jussie Smollett off the hook. Now, because of her own unwillingness to do her mandatory compliance, her ability to practice has been revoked.
Here’s more from American Wire:
The outgoing top prosecutor in Illinois reportedly failed “compliance” and is no longer authorized to practice law.
Former Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx famously handled the case of actor Jussie Smollett after he staged an attack against himself. Her term ended on December 1, but she reportedly did not complete mandatory continuing education requirements.
A search for the progressive’s name on the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission website shows that Foxx is “unauthorized to practice law as [the] attorney has not demonstrated required MCLE [Minimum Continuing Legal Education] compliance.”
All continuing education credits that were completed had to be reported by June 30 in even-numbered years for those whose names begin with “F” and a November 1 extension is granted for those missing the deadline, according
