Can be a lawyer with a criminal record?
I have a permit to drive drunk and the battery on my record, both misdemeanors, and both of Utah. I have planned to attend law school next year in New York, and practice. I have a problem? NY know about my record? Do they worry about crime?
It is best to be frank about the order of the Faculty of Law, because if you start law school and pass the state bar exam passing the ethics, which pull the application of the law school, you have to have their fingerprints to sit at the bar will run a background check, the DWI is no big deal, Battery is a different situation, that probably would not impair the authority of law, but may cause the approval to the ethics committee that approved admission to practice law in the State
