California Supreme Court Grants Lawyer License to Immigrant
The California Supreme Court approved a law license for Sergio Garcia, an immigrant living in the United States illegally, who completed law school and passed the state bar. His license allows him to practice law despite his immigration status as Gov. Brown signed a new law enabling licensing. The case followed disputes between federal immigration policy and state action.
