Katie Zacharia on failing the bar exam: "We just said, 'I'll take the bar and see what happens.' The results are somewhat inconsequential because I knew I wouldn't need the bar in China." (She spent years lying that she's an attorney!)

She claimed to be legal counsel for a California non profit. Even holding yourself as legal counsel, even if you didn't ever actually provide services, is a misdemeanor in California.

I believe she resides in CA, and has stated she was “General Counsel” for a CA nonprofit on her LinkedIn profile, so a complaint has already been filed against her with the State Bar of California.

Under California Business and Professions Code Section 6126(a), it is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in county jail, a $1,000 fine, or both, for an unlicensed person to hold themselves out as practicing or entitled to practice law in the state.

I think if a corporation wants to hire a non-lawyer as general counsel they can. But I'd like to see the stats on how many GC's are not practicing lawyers. I can't see a lot of companies hiring a person who hasn't passed the bar and therefore never actually practiced law as the firm's legal counsel.
