I went down a crazy rabbithole of calling 3 different clerks offices and found the info on one, that was surprisingly easy! Thanks LSAT_Wrecker.

The other one (that I received as a juvenile) they won't release the info to me over the phone but I left a message with a clerk that can tell me if it has been expunged. I wish someone had warned me about this more thoroughly when I started drafting stuff for my apps, but I guess I just assumed that since some places didn't care about traffic violations, most places wouldn't. I guess I fell for the trap there.

Character and Fitness - how much detail is necessary?

I have two traffic violations that are both pretty old (one was 8 years ago and I was a juvenile, so the record is sealed if not expunged, the other one was 4 years ago). I remember the date of one, the general time period of the other, and I know the gist of what happened in both but I don't remember what I was specifically charged with, etc. Neither is a major deal and the fines for both were like less than $200, it's not like I forgot all the details of a hit-and-run or something.

The driving record thing I can request from my state only goes back 3 years. Is there another way to find this info? Should I be worried about having all the specifics since it was so long ago? If I had it I would have no problem sharing everything but I don't really want to have to take off work to go to a county clerk's office for the records or something.

I apologize if there's a guide for this stuff somewhere, I've been searching for an answer for a while and I'm not finding anything besides recommendations to request that driving record thing, which again won't actually be helpful.

LSAC/CAS other institutions correction?

8 long years ago I took two summer classes at two separate campuses of one institution (that has like 4-5 campuses). When I was putting in my "other institutions" all of the separate campuses showed up as an option. I normally would've just put the main campus for both of them (so for example, Farmville University vs Farmville University Fairview and Farmville University Midtown) but I compared that to another institution that has separate campuses and they only had the main campus listed as an option for that one, so like a total ding dong I took that as these separate campuses being discrete, separate places. I know, I should've done more due diligence then.

After sending both transcript request forms to the registrar (on the office of the main campus), they sent one transcript in. I contacted the registrar and they explained that because I was technically a declared student of "Fairview" the whole transcript (for both classes) was sent from there. So I contacted LSAC at LSACinfo@LSAC.org and explained my mistake and I am still waiting for a response or at least for them to take the other institution down. Has anyone dealt with this? Is it just a matter of they're slow and they'll get to me eventually or do I need to take further action?

tl;dr I made an honest (albeit slightly foolish) mistake reporting my other institutions, one of them just needs to be removed, I contacted LSAC via LSACinfo@LSAC.org and have not gotten any response.
