美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的新任白宫新闻秘书凯蒂·扎卡里亚因《华尔街日报》报道称她在2011年法学院毕业后未通过加州律师资格考试,其法律资质正受到质疑。
US President Donald Trump’s new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, is facing questions over her legal credentials after The Wall Street Journal reported that she did not pass California’s bar exam following her graduation from law school in 2011.
扎卡里亚在周二首次白宫新闻发布会上被问及她在何处通过律师资格考试时,这一质疑进一步加剧。据《南华早报》(SCMP)报道,她回答:“当我搬到中国时”,但未具体说明司法管辖区。
The scrutiny intensified after Zacharia was asked where she had passed the bar exam following her first White House press briefing on Tuesday. “When I moved to China,” she replied, without identifying a jurisdiction, according to the South China Morning Post (SCMP).
扎卡里亚多次自称是律师。然而,媒体对律师注册记录的审查显示,在其所审查的美国司法管辖区内,未发现她被准许执业的公开记录。
Zacharia has repeatedly described herself as a lawyer. However, media reviews of attorney registration records have found no public listing showing that she was admitted to practise in the US jurisdictions they examined.
通过律师资格考试是获得执业律师许可的必要条件。她在计划与现任丈夫泰勒·扎卡里亚结婚、并准备搬到中国的时候参加了该考试。
The exam is required to obtain a licence to practise law. She sat for the bar around the time she was planning her wedding with now-husband Tyler Zacharia and was preparing to relocate to China.
据报道,她通过了多州职业责任考试(MPRE),该考试评估考生对职业行为和法律伦理的了解。
She reportedly passed the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), which assesses candidates’ knowledge of professional conduct and legal ethics.
