Question
In the series finale of Better Call Saul, Kim visits Saul in his prison as his lawyer. Saul is surprised and asks Kim how she manages to get her bar license back? She replies:
It turns out my bar license does not have an expiration date.
This is very confusing to me, as Kim voluntarily gave up her license as a lawyer after the death of Howard. Voluntary termination has nothing to do with her bar license's expiration date.
I am wondering if it is a joke or in the state of New Mexico, even with voluntary termination, a bar license does not expire?
Any ideas?
Answer
Kim's line was:
Uh, turns out my New Mexico bar card doesn't have an expiration date.
I interpreted that as Kim still has possession of her ID card as a licensed lawyer and that said card doesn't have an expiration date printed on it. Because her ID didn't have an expiration date on it, when the prison officers saw her ID, they thought that she was still a licensed lawyer and allowed her in the prison. Basically, she scammed her way in, like the good ol' days with Jimmy / Saul.
