[blindlaw] requiring a Driver's License as a pre-requisite to employment as an attorney

[Michal Nowicki]

What does "border state status" have to do with the driver's license
requirement?

I may not be an attorney or law professional, but it's not just the law that
is requiring "driver's licenses" but I'm seeing even mundane jobs requiring
those.  I wanted to move to Arizona, but I"m not surprised by what they're
doing because of the border state status, right there besides Mexico.

previous 39 months of MVD records will be accessed and reviewed by the
hiring authority makes it plain that the reference to driver's license goes
beyond a mere picture i.d.  Moreover, Arizona has identification cards which
are also issued by MVD, but which plainly are NOT driver's licenses, nor are
they referred to as such.  Finally, because our state chose not to comply
with certain national trends on those licenses and identifications, we will
all soon need passports or other forms of i.d. to board airplanes, making
them relatively useless as mere forms of identification.  Additionally,
other positions are listed which do NOT require driver's licenses as a
pre-requisite to application.

license" to refer to all forms of picture identification.  After all, unlike
in other countries, where all citizens must obtain a national ID card, a
driver's license functions as a valid form of identification in the United
States, and most Americans have a driver's license.  While this does not
justify Arizona's discriminatory language, there is at least a legitimate
possibility that the state does not mean to weed blind attorneys out of
public legal posts through this requirement.  If that is the case, maybe it
will not be a barrier to employment, even if the government is unwilling to
amend the language.

understand or know how the posession of a driver's license should translate
to mean that I'll do a good job at work, but again, it's government!
