Well that didn't take long - Elizabeth Warren owns up

Elizabeth Warren (D-Ma) is running for the Senate against Scott Brown (R-Ma). Brown discovered that Warren was practicing Law in Massachusetts without being licensed. She denied it. Now -- from Breitbart:
Elizabeth Warren Admits She Is Not Licensed to Practice Law in Massachusetts
Speaking to Boston's 96.9 FM radio program "Jim and Margery" on Monday, Democratic Senate challenger Elizabeth Warren admitted that she is not licensed to practice law in Massachusetts.

According to reports from listeners, she claimed that she does not maintain a law practice. She also "said that she gave up her New Jersey license because she could not keep up with the Continuing Education requirements," according to one listener who commented on Breitbart's Monday story, "Does Elizabeth Warren Have a Law License Problem?".

Ms. Warren's statement comes as a surprise to the many clients she's provided legal services to over the past decade, including the law firm of Simpson, Thacher, and Bartlett, which listed her as "of counsel" in the 2009 brief they submitted to the United States Supreme Court on behalf of their client, Travelers Insurance.
Fake indian. Fake lawyer. Don't let the door hit ya' where the good Lord split ya' BTW - the New Jersey Continuing Education requirements are trivial:
Since January 1, 2010, all lawyers holding a license to practice law in the State of New Jersey, whether plenary or limited, are required to participate in the mandatory continuing legal education program set forth in Rule 1:42, entitled “Continuing Legal Education.” It requires all attorneys who are licensed to practice in the State to take 24 hours of continuing legal education every two years, including at least four hours on topics related to ethics and/or professionalism.
