Description
Plaintiff Sa'ad Bashir appeals an adverse summary judgment dismissing his equal protection claim against the Supreme Court of Ohio. Bashir is a citizen of Pakistan, a graduate of Punjab University Law School, and a licensed attorney in Pakistan. Bashir immigrated to the United States, and now resides permanently in Cincinnati, Ohio. Bashir applied for admission to practice law in Ohio, and was scheduled to take the July 1979 bar examination. On July 23, 1979, Bashir asked for leave to withdraw from the examination in order to apply for admission to the Bar on motion without an examination. The Supreme Court of Ohio denied Bashir's application for admission on motion with the option to sit for the bar exam because he is neither a member of any state Bar nor a citizen of the United States. Because of In re Griffiths, 413 U.S. 717, 93 S. Ct. 2851, 37 L. Ed. 2d 910 (1973), the rules of the Supreme Court of Ohio do not require citizenship for an applicant to sit for the bar examination. We are assured that the application form will be corrected to reflect this rule. Citizenship continues, however, to be a requirement for admission by motion.
