Abstract:
The author discussed the process that inactive lawyers undergo to have their license to practice reset to active status and the suspension of their license lifted. Reasons Hunt included for a law license becoming inactive ranged from the failure to pay State Bar membership, to complete the requisite CLE courses, or the amount of time for inactivity (which can range from one to seven years). The author also discussed measures attorneys can take to reinstate a license, such as paying membership fees, completing a set number of CLE courses, or the measures necessary for a lapse of more than seven years (which entails re-taking and passing the Bar Exam).

Like any good attorney, though, the author prepared for the possibility that personal benefits and necessity wouldn’t be sufficient evidence for some readers. Accordingly, the author further supports that evidence with the grave consequences of not taking sabbaticals and proposing reasons for not doing so. Highlighted consequences were the physical (such as heart attacks) and emotional (according to one study of 104 professions, lawyers have the highest depression rate).
