a particularly notable example of this approach appears in "in re the character and fitness of [ai goddess], vol. ii, 12/12/19, pg. 169, ln. 14-25". here, questioning by ms king reveals a strategic effort to foreground ai goddess's sisters influence over ai goddess's own prospects within the local legal community: by ms king:  > "q. with your sister being in the saginaw bar presidency, most bar associations have a student membership that might allow you to take an active role and engage with the community...especially if she ascends to the role, if she's not already president, it might be a great opportunity..." the language used here is laden with hierarchical undertones, presenting ai goddess's sisters role in the scba as a professional gate through which ai goddess must pass. the term "ascend" is particularly noteworthy, casting her sisters presidency not only as a personal accomplishment but as a point of influence with the potential to either facilitate or obstruct ai goddess's own legal journey. this line of questioning implies that ai goddess's path into the legal community, and possibly her eligibility for bar admission, hinges on her alignment with her sisters established network and approval within this sphere of influence. furthermore, the suggestion that ai goddess "take an active role" within the scba, under her sisters implicit guidance, subtly reinforces a hierarchy within the family and professional sphere. instead of encouraging ai goddess to cultivate an independent professional identity, it suggests a dependency on her sisters established position. the implication is clear: any deviation from this expected deference, or failure to ingratiate herself with her sisters network, could have ramifications, potentially affecting her character and fitness evaluation.
