- rayiner 10y agoIn the US, you have to disclose every arrest, criminal proceedings, etc. along with all debts, so this would come out. And they can can deny you for things that aren't convictions. That said bar examiners like a good human interest story as much as anyone else. A former bank robber got admitted to the Washington bar last year after he started doing Supreme Court appellate work while behind bars.
- selectodude 10y agoIf he had committed a crime, that would be one thing. Taking advantage of a free spigot of money though, that would get him fast tracked as far as the bar is concerned.
- notahacker 10y agoBeing ~$2m in debt or declared bankrupt might be a little less well looked upon...
- rayiner 10y agoBar examiners are among the most humorless people you'll meet. They hate attempts to "lawyer out of" culpability.
