Character and Fitness Bar Application Issues 

The character and fitness portion of the bar application is an extremely important part of the bar application process. There is a three-step process for evaluating character and fitness involving: The Character Committees, the State Board of Law Examiners, and the Court of Appeals. If you’re an applicant that has experienced ethical issues such as civil lawsuits, academic honor code violations, criminal charges, etc. the bar application process can be challenging for you if these issues have not been adequately disclosed in your bar application. As the bar applicant, you have the duty of proving to the Character Committee that you have a good moral character and are fit to practice law in Maryland. If you are seeking admission to practice law in Maryland and you have some character and fitness issues from your past, let Patiently Guided Law Office guide you.
