Description | "A former U.S. representative running for Pennsylvania attorney general never took the state bar examination and has not tried a case in the state's courts.
Patrick Murphy told The Associated Press this week he took Minnesota's bar exam after graduating from Widener University Law School in Harrisburg in 1999.
He says he was entering the Army Judge Advocate General Corps and took the Minnesota test because fellow officers told him he would get the results sooner.
The Bucks County resident was admitted to the Pennsylvania bar in 2004 based on his passing the Minnesota exam and five years as an Army lawyer.
He says he's tried cases in federal, military and foreign courts, but so far none in Pennsylvania.
Murphy is one three Democratic candidates for attorney general." |
