CJ Wilson: What’s so important about the justice system is not merely what we do, it’s how much of it we do. And how essential it is to have one place in society where the law controls, where facts are proved with evidence, where truth matters & justice prevails. – at Jefferson City, MO

Couldn’t agree with you more @mikeparson that’s why the Supreme Court of Missouri #SCOMO amended our Rule 8 in 2018 to make it easier for those spouses who are lawyers to practice law in Missouri. #MoLawyers #YourMOBar #mogov
Military spouses face considerable challenges when they relocate with their active duty partner, and finding a job in their licensed profession should not be one of them! #mogov
