I may have affirmative responses to the character and fitness questions (Questions 4, 5, 6, and 7) of my application. How does the admissions committee view affirmative responses?
Application questions 4, 5, 6, and 7 concern your character and fitness to practice law. The Admission Committee views affirmative responses in the context of the entire application, and may or may not affect your chances of admission. When in doubt as to how to answer the question, err on the side of full disclosure, keeping in mind that you need not reveal incidents that have been sealed or expunged by law. Failure to answer the questions fully and accurately may result in expulsion from law school or other appropriate disciplinary action, and may be an obstacle to admission to the bar. In addition, a state bar may require additional information about your character and fitness. If you have further questions about how to answer these questions, please contact us.
