I'm not a federal attorney anymore, having gotten married and had a kid I had to go to the private sector, where I am licensed to practice in the state I practice now, so I don't readily know the statute, regulation or policy. What I can say is that the Linkedin profile sent before is probably the correct Dan Goldstein; if he's running afoul of New York State bar rules, then I guess you've just exposed him.Chris Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656926650913270093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656840100957938850.post-23343954937653033612017-01-22T10:55:56.222-08:002017-01-22T10:55:56.222-08:00I guess, there is no statute, regulation or policy...I guess, there is no statute, regulation or policy to cite for the claim that an attorney working for the federal government does not have to be licensed or even registered as an in-house counsel in the state where he or she is practicing. And, I do not take as legal basis opinions from strangers that "we do it this way in our neck of woods". That is not what the rule of law is.Tatiana Neronihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164591853661429324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656840100957938850.post-47770223767672582162017-01-20T19:10:08.590-08:002017-01-20T19:10:08.590-08:00Mr. Johnson, please, provide the names of and link...Mr. Johnson, please, provide the names of and links to statutes, regulations and/or policies that would confirm your opinion.

The rule you speak of doesn't apply to federal government attorneys. They are not the same as "in-house counsel", the rule you speak of applies to corporations and non-profits, not federal agencies. Again, if you are an attorney for the federal government, you just need to have the bar from a state, DC or another territory (i.e. Puerto Rico), but where you physically work for the federal government does not matter. When I worked for the IRS in DC, I did not run afoul of DC bar rules. Believe me, I would have been dismissed from my job pretty quickly if I did. I knew attorneys licensed in many different jurisdictions all over the country working at the IRS and other federal agencies, but NOT licensed in DC or whatever state the federal agency was located. The "in-house rule" you speak of does NOT apply to federal agencies and never has. You can be licensed in Guam and work as a lawyer at any federal agency, anywhere in the country, it doesn't matter and you will NOT have to register with the bar of the state you are working for that federal agency. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the Linkedin profile showing the attorney at the US Mint is the correct Dan Goldstein and he is NOT required to register with the New York bar. There is no mystery here and Dan Goldstein isn't breaking any state bar rules as far as I know. Not defending his conduct on the JetBlue flight, of course, that was about as low-class and rude as it gets, but I am certain he is a federal government attorney who will not be in trouble with the New York bar anytime soon.Chris Johnson, EAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00267818783924728787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656840100957938850.post-52739471193402296292017-01-20T17:07:39.448-08:002017-01-20T17:07:39.448-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Chris Johnson, EAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00267818783924728787noreply@blogger.com
