Another foreign lawyer admitted to the NSBA

In re Application of Gluckselig: 269 Neb. 995 June 17, 2005. No. S-34-050001.Graduate of law schol in Czech Republic admitted ot NSBA as he took "core" law school classes from the University of Michigan and passed with high scores both the Multistate Bar and ethics exams. Following the denial of an application and a hearing before the Nebraska State Bar Commission, the Nebraska Supreme Court will consider a waiver of Neb. Ct. R. for Adm. of Attys. 5C (rev. 2005) in cases where a strict application of that rule would result in denying admission to a qualified graduate of a foreign law school for arbitrary reasons unrelated to the essential purpose of rule 5C." Even though Gluckselig did not take every class prescribed in In re Appeal of Dundee, supra, his education as a whole is equivalent to that of an ABA-approved school.
