Let’s Talk About Bar Admissions

When you take the Bar, you fill out this whole long list of background information. You give them your fingerprints, a list of everyone you are connected with, and various other pieces of detailed information. You give them all of this information, and they do a background check on you. For some people, if you’ve had various kinds of problems, they will get red flags, and it pops up on the character & fitness. Some types of things that pop up are if you’ve had some run-in with the law or disciplinary issues in school.

If you’ve had disciplinary problems at law school in particular and sometimes in college, it may affect your character and red fitness flags. Plagiarism issues especially tend to pop up. For people who get these character & fitness flags, there’s a board that you go in front of and convince them to admit you to the bar.
