Bob Parker Jr., an African American Muslim attorney, passed the Oregon State bar exam in 1990, but Oregon didn't let him practice until December 2021. Thirty-one years. The Department of Justice, Marion County, and the Oregon Government Ethics Commission all investigated him. Three separate grand juries declined to indict him. The legislature apologized in 2021, acknowledging 31 years of wrongful damage done. Compensation still hasn't come.
