You are an American company expanding its business into China. You have just clinched a highly coveted multi-million-dollar deal, documented in a one hundred-page contract that seems to cover every conceivable hiccup.

Morrison has been held to no more onerous requirements for
admission to the North Carolina bar than any citizen of North Carolina. Simply because he practiced in California, a state not having reciprocity with North Carolina, for four of the last six years, does not mean that his constitutional rights have been violated. He does not
