  Matthew Hale (jurist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Matthew Hale (1609—December 25, 1676), Lord Chief Justice of England, was born on the 1st of November 1609 at Alderley in Gloucestershire, where his father, a retired barrister, had a small estate.
The parliament having gained the ascendancy, Hale signed the Solemn League and Covenant, and was a member of the famous assembly of divines at Westminster in 1644; but although he would undoubtedly have preferred a Presbyterian form of church government, he had no serious objection to the system of modified Episcopacy, proposed by Usher.
At the Restoration in 1660 Hale was very graciously received by Charles II., and in the same year was appointed chief baron of the exchequer, and accepted, with extreme reluctance, the honour of knighthood.

 freedomforum.org: Illinois justice goes out on a limb for First Amendment, Matthew Hale
Its prediction that Hale would at some point "find himself before the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission" raised, in Heiple's mind, a question as to whether the committee should be permitted to judge an applicant's moral character by what he or she might do, rather than by what he or she already has done.
Under the interpretations of these standards in the Hale case, the committee and the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission (which governs licensed lawyers) suddenly have unfettered discretion to determine "the letter and spirit" of the disciplinary rules, to discern society's "fundamental truths" and to divine a person's conduct from his speech.
Matthew Hale and James Heiple aren't the only ones who should be concerned about whether this broad expansion of state power jeopardizes the First Amendment rights of those who have and who seek a law license.

Matthew Hale is a public advocate of white supremacy and the leader of an organization (formerly called the World Church of the Creator [note 1]) dedicated to racism and anti-Semitism.
Posted by Mad Lawyer at September 17, 2003 01:35 PM Hale's participation, or not, in a conspiracy to murder a federal judge had nothing to do with the denial of his petition for admission to the bar (which took place long before the conspiracy is alleged to have been formed).
Hale's petition was denied because (1) he is opposed to the Bill of Rights as applied to the States through the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments [so he cannot in good faith swear to support and uphold the US Constitution] and (2) his petition for admission conveniently omitted reference to his felony conviction.
