I brought the curious case of U.S. Magistrate Wallace Capel to the attention of Roger Alan Shuler several months ago & here's what Roger has observed.
* U.S. Magistrate Wallace Capel, who ruled on several key pre-trial issues, has never been a member of the Alabama State Bar, and therefore is not eligible to serve as a federal magistrate judge in our state. The record and the law on this could not be more clear, but lawyers from neither side have made it an issue. The mainstream media, as usual, has not bothered to report the story.Legal Schnauzer: Is Our Country Rotting From the Inside Out?
Allowing someone who is not licensed to practice law in Alabama to rule on matters before a Federal District Court which hears questions of state law as well as federal law is Tea Bagger behavior.
