I was charged with "drinking in public" in California and got it dismissed. I was not arrested or convicted. Will it hurt my chanced getting into a good law school?

    I would say probably no, but you will more than likely have to disclose it. Highly recommend the 7sage admissions course, it's just $10 and has great advice on how to write these.

    Probably not. In fact I doubt you’ll even have to write a C&F essay for that. But either way I would just read carefully all of the C&F questions on each application just to be sure.
