A Vancouver woman is asking for the courts to make an example of her neighbour, a practising lawyer she alleges has filed a baseless pseudolegal lawsuit against her in an attempt to โ€œprovoke a state of fear.โ€

"That i possess a licence to practice law in the legal jurisdiction of the province of British Columbia does not make i into a lawyer, the same way that having a driver's licence to drive a motor vehicle does not make i into a driver," Arbabi said.

100% this woman is a sovcit. That whole driving/travelling thing is their go to, their God damn addiction. She couldn't help throwing it in there.

I'm surprised (though in hindsight only a little surprised, humans being humans) to see a Sovereign Citizen with a law degree and an actual license. Sovcit thinking patterns seem literally deranged to me, so it must take some serious compartmentalization to have passed the bar.

Or perhaps she went insane afterward, for some reason.

It is shockingly easy to pass the bar. Like, Sydney Powell is a lawyer for Christ's sake.

Lawyers do need to comport themselves properly, and can't engage in things that may tarnish the respect for the legal system now that they're members of the bar.

Fucking hokum qualifies as an example of the kind of fraudulent whackadoo shit that needs to attract a disbarment hearing.
