California's Supreme Court has postponed its decision on whether undocumented immigrants can apply for practicing lawyers, which will be postponed until early next year. At the same time, the court requested a new state law to support this opinion.

The court is carefully considering whether to allow Sergio C. Garcia to become a practicing lawyer. Garcia was born in Mexico and brought to the United States by his parents. Garcia has obtained the visa approval from 1995, but is still waiting for the visa to be issued. The State Lawyers' Practice Committee decided that Garcia had met the practice requirements at this time and recommended him to become a practicing lawyer.

However, the US Department of Justice believes that federal law prohibits Garcia from practicing. According to 1996 Law on the Coordination of Personal Obligations and Job Opportunities, undocumented immigrants are prohibited from obtaining "public welfare" unless otherwise expressly stipulated by state laws.

In the oral argument, the judge said that they were restricted by federal law. The Latino party group said that the state law clearly stipulates that undocumented immigrants are eligible to obtain a California lawyer's license. Governor Jerry Brown signed it in AB 1024 last month, and it will take effect on 1.

The court asked the parties who submitted the supplementary summary to explain how the new regulations affected the case. The court will also accept amicus curiae before 165438+ 10/5.

The case will be submitted again on June 2, 65438/KLOC-0, and the court will have 90 days to make a decision.
