The Florida Supreme Court may soon decide whether an illegal immigrant should be able to become licensed to practice law in the Sunshine State.
The case of 25-year-old Jose Godinez-Samperio, a resident of greater Tampa who wishes to be admitted to the Florida bar, presents an interesting twist on the generation of young people who were brought to the United States by their parents illegally while very young but are now fully grown and, in some cases, highly motivated and highly talented.
