In addition to a bar examination, there are character, fitness, and other qualifications for admission to the bar in every US jurisdiction. applicants are encouraged to determine the requirements for any jurisdiction in which they intend to seek admission by contacting the jurisdiction. Contact information for jurisdictions are available through the National Conference of Bar Examiners. An affirmative answer to any question in this section will not necessarily preclude or negatively impact your application.
1. Have you ever been convicted of any felony offense, or is any such charge now pending against you?
2. Have you ever been subjected to a dismissal, suspension, probation, or other disciplinary or academic sanction by any college, university, or professional school? If you answer yes, you must complete and submit the Dean's Certification Form (available in the Forms section).
3. Have you ever been subject to discipline by a professional organization?
4. As part of your Moral Character application to the bar, you may be required to disclose information about arrests. If you did not disclose them to the law school at the time of your application, your bar application may be delayed. You are not required to provide arrest information on your application to Brooklyn Law School. However, should you be admitted, please consider disclosing any arrests to the law school at that time. Please acknowledge that you have read and that you understand this.
