\"RECIPROCITY<\/a>Reciprocidad ahora para todos nosotros abogado\/as extranjeros –<\/strong> Reciprocity Now for Foreign<\/strong> Professionals in USA <\/strong><\/p>\n

Estimados colegas y amigos de NAFA. Como pueden ver en este articulo hemos pedido al Colegio Internacional de Abogados (\u201cIBA\u201d) al cual somos miembros desde el a\u00f1o 1994, para hacer un evento en conjunto promoviendo la regla de reciprocidad entre abogados extranjeros y locales en Estados Unidos y en Inglaterra. El tema de mi programa de reciprocidad abogados en Estados Unidos desde 1994 y ahora 2016 es una cuesti\u00f3n de retraso; esta cuesti\u00f3n de la reciprocidad entre EUA. y abogados de jurisdicciones extranjeras, ha sido, durante mucho tiempo un punto de contenci\u00f3n, es un problema calentando de nuevo por NAFA. \u00a0Ver detalles de la pr\u00f3xima Conferencia Internacional de abogados en el Estado de Washington DC; Septiembre 18.To: \u00a0I.B.A. Academic and Professional Development Committee Septiembre 18. http:\/\/www.ibanet.org\/Default.aspx<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Abogado practicante miembro de American Bar Association, ABA ID#:01049251 desde 1992 a 2008. Actualmente afiliado practicante, ABA ID#: 01922762. Vice Presidente del ABA Section of International Law. En mis dos libros recientes, “El Inmigrante Universo” y “Los Maestros en Acci\u00f3n en America”\u00a0hemos hecho hincapi\u00e9 en que nuestra mejor arma\u00a0para contribuir en una soluci\u00f3n al problema de la inmigraci\u00f3n ilegal que ahora se enfrenta, es la educaci\u00f3n. Existen varios m\u00e9todos a seguir como he sometido en estos libros, empezando por el principio de reciprocidad que asegure\u00a0al Estado de\u00a0Florida una prosperidad econ\u00f3mica global ahora m\u00e1s\u00a0necesitada, en un momento en que otros pa\u00edses en el resto del continente americano se encuentran\u00a0en el uso de reciprocidad similares siguiendo\u00a0un principio establecido por un tratado llamado “Convenio Regional de Convalidaci\u00f3n de Estudios, T\u00edtulos y Diplomas de Educaci\u00f3n Superior en Am\u00e9rica Latina y el Caribe 1974.” (V\u00e9ase UNESCO – http:\/\/portal.unesco . org). <\/strong>Cito, “Deseosos de afirmar e incrementar su cooperaci\u00f3n en asuntos relacionados con la educaci\u00f3n y el uso de los recursos humanos y con el objetivo de promover la m\u00e1xima integraci\u00f3n de la zona, fomentar el conocimiento y salvaguardar la identidad cultural de sus pueblos, as\u00ed como de lograr una mejora constante y progresiva en la calidad de la educaci\u00f3n y contribuir al firme prop\u00f3sito de favorecer el desarrollo econ\u00f3mico, social y cultural y el pleno empleo en cada pa\u00eds de la regi\u00f3n y en la regi\u00f3n en su conjunto…”\u00a0 Convention\u00a0firmado el dia\u00a019th<\/sup> of Julio, 1974\u00a0por los siguientes paises:<\/p>\n

Argentina \u2013 Bolivia \u2013 Brasil \u2013 Chile \u2013 Colombia \u2013 Costa Rica \u2013 Cuba \u2013 Ecuador \u2013 El Salvador \u2013 Guatemala \u2013 Hait\u00ed \u2013 Honduras \u2013 M\u00e9xico \u2013 Nicaragua \u2013 Panam\u00e1 \u2013 Per\u00fa \u2013 Suriname \u2013 Venezuela.\u00a0 Aqu\u00ed en este Convenio los \u00fanicos Estados Paises no-signatarios\u00a0en esta convenci\u00f3n son los Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Por favor, ay\u00fadenos a ofrecer todo nuestro apoyo a nuestros colegas extranjeros en relaci\u00f3n con\u00a0este tema de reciprocidad. Con este fin el mejor apoyo a esta petici\u00f3n de reciprocidad que incluya a los dos \u00fanicos pa\u00edses no signatarios la mejor v\u00eda es que env\u00edes v\u00eda correo electr\u00f3nico tu peticion de apoyo a esta iniciativa registr\u00e1ndote bajo la categor\u00eda de interesado en la ley, entrando v\u00eda: www.americanbar.org<\/a> a la brevedad posible y, menciona esta campa\u00f1a de NAFA ASSOCIATION.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Como abogado\/as extranjeros en EE.UU., hemos sido favorecidos con grandes logros- el principal es que ahora 33 estados de los 50 estados de EE.UU., ya tienen reglas de reciprocidad las cuales permiten abogado\/as extranjeros solicitar y ser licenciados para ejercer abogac\u00eda. Pero debemos de solicitar que el resto de la naci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n implemente la admisi\u00f3n a ejercer por reciprocidad, no solo para abogados, tambi\u00e9n para otras profesiones.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Te invitamos para que, como abogados extranjero, nos apoyes en esta campa\u00f1a de obtener reciprocidad para todos en Estados Unidos, esto lo puedes hacer escribiendo v\u00eda tu correo electr\u00f3nico \u201cemail\u201d directamente al Comit\u00e9 ABA \u2013 FLC para abogados extranjeros- v\u00eda: INTFLC@mail.americanbar.org<\/a> con copias a:RBrown@BGDLEGAL.COM<\/a>; & <\/strong>INTLEGALPRACTICEDIV@mail.americanbar.org <\/a>Atenci\u00f3n de: Licda.

Dear colleagues and friends of NAFA. As you can see in this article we have asked the International Bar Association (“IBA”) to which we are members since 1994, to make a joint event promoting the rule of reciprocity between foreign and local lawyers in the United States and England. The theme of my program reciprocity for lawyers in the United States since 1994 and now 2016 is a matter of delay; this question of reciprocity between the US. and lawyers from foreign jurisdictions, has \u00a0long been a point of contention, it is a problem heating up again by NAFA. View details of the forthcoming International Conference of lawyers in the State of Washington DC; September 18th.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Re: Petition on behalf of foreign attorneys by NAFA Attorneys Association to IBA for the creation of reciprocity event amongst foreign and US States jurisdictions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Sir or Madam:<\/p>\n

Thanks for your invitation to the program for the September Washington DC Event.<\/p>\n

As a brief introduction, my name is Humphrey Humberto Pachecker, IBA Member 1061345, and 017031 since 1994, CEO of\u00a0 NAFA, National Association for Foreign Attorneys (www.nafalaw.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The issue of my program is of lawyer reciprocity in United States in 2016 is an overdue issue; this issue of lawyer reciprocity between Florida and jurisdictions, long a point of contention, is an issue heating up again by NAFA.\u00a0 Please see ABA Link for F.L.C., reciprocity rule in 33 U.S.A., states: http:\/\/www.americanbar.org\/content\/dam\/aba\/administrative\/professional_responsibility\/foreign_legal_consultants.authcheckdam.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

In USA 1989 in a legislative session of the house committee in Tallahassee, Florida a proposal for across the board reciprocity draft bill was introduced which did not made a good first impression, and it dissipated with little substantive debate.<\/p>\n

However, at that moment the issue on the table was \u201cWhether constitute the unlicensed practices of law for a foreign out of state lawyer or law firm to establish an office in Florida for the purpose of giving legal consultation on the law of his\/her\/its home state\/ country to clients who are either residents or nonresidents of Florida.\u201d<\/p>\n

The answer was already there in The Florida Bar vs. Savitt<\/u>, 363 So.2d 559 (Fla. 1978)<\/strong> which dealt with a dispute between The Florida Bar and a firm of New York lawyers setting up an office in Florida in which the partner associated to supervise the new office was not admitted to the practice of law in Florida.<\/p>\n

This gave way in 1991 to The Florida Bar Rule 16, of the rules regulating The Florida Bar.\u00a0 The Foreign Legal Consultancy Rule which authorizes and encourage the foreign attorney to establish some ties to Florida for the practice of law under the International Law Section, which has benefitted our communities and everyone in it.<\/p>\n

Many years have passed since the question of reciprocity was answered and the issue solved.\u00a0 However, today we must take another step forward which will provide us with an opportunity to gain a great deal from the union of the world economy in international business permitting the legal and planning infrastructure necessary for international business to operate \u00a0with minimal independent the road to a global economic development in Florida. One example is the recent Free Trade Agreement between Colombia \u2013 USA and others.<\/p>\n

A healthy example of this issue, as follows, is, The Louisiana Bar Rule XVII, Section 6 Louisiana Bar to wit:\u00a0 II.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Equivalency<\/p>\n

Application:<\/u>\u00a0\u00a0 In order to meet the requisites for admission, an applicant who graduates from a law school not located in the United States or its territories may submit an application for an equivalency determination in accordance with La. Sup. Ct.\u00a0 Rule XVII, Sec. 6.<\/p>\n

Equivalency Determination Panel<\/u>:\u00a0 A panel comprised of faculty members from each ABA accredited law school in this state, appointed by the Court, shall consider all requests for equivalency determination and make recommendations to the Committee.\u00a0 One member of the Committee shall also be appointed to the panel, but such member shall only vote in the event of a tie.<\/p>\n

Burden of Proof<\/u>: \u00a0The applicant bears the burden of proving that his or her education is equivalent to that offered in the United States or its territories by a law school accredited by the American Bar Association.<\/p>\n

American Law School Credit<\/u>:\u00a0 The applicant must also prove that he or she has successfully completed a minimum of 14 hours of credit, or the equivalent, at an ABA accredited law school, in any of the following subjects:\u00a0 Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law, Corporations or Business Organizations, Evidence, Federal Jurisdiction, Federal Civil Procedure, Intellectual Property, Louisiana Civil Procedure, Louisiana Obligations Law, Professional Responsibility, Taxation, Torts, Uniform Commercial Code.\u00a0 No more than 4 hours in any one subject shall be counted toward the requirement.\u00a0 La. Sup. Ct. Rule XVII, Sec. 6(B).<\/p>\n

The principle of reciprocity will secure for UK \u2013 USA, a global economic prosperity now most need it in a time when other countries are doing well in similar reciprocity issue following the principle of Regional Convention on the Recognition of Studies, Diplomas and Degrees in Higher Education in Latin America and the Caribbean 1974. (see UNESCO \u2013 http:\/\/www.unesco.org\/education\/studyingabroad\/tools\/conventions_lac_cover.shtml#I<\/a><\/p>\n

Desirous<\/strong> of strengthening and increasing their co-operation in matters relating to education and the use of human resources and with the aim of promoting the maximum integration of the area, of encouraging knowledge and safeguarding the cultural identity of its peoples, as well as of achieving a constant and gradual improvement in the quality of education and contribution to their firm resolve to foster economic, social and cultural development and full employment in each country of the region and in the region as a whole; here the only States parties non-signatory in this convention are the United States, Puerto Rico and several European countries.<\/p>\n

Respectfully submitted,<\/p>\n
