Abstract

This paper is an amicus (or friend of the court) brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to consider the case of a North Dakota attorney who has been forced to fund political causes he opposes through mandatory membership in the state bar association. This also occurs in Oklahoma, where attorneys are forced, by law, to join the Oklahoma Bar Association if they wish to practice in the state, violating first amendment principles.
