I disclosed nothing, especially things for which I was not caught and the SOL had expired. Also remember today is admin professionals day, make sure you take care of your staff or there will be six more weeks of discovery.

I disclosed all the stuff FL asked about. My biggest C&F issue was I didn’t explain why I was unemployed and not a student for the 5 months after I was involuntarily separated from the military and when I started school.

I disclosed everything but it was all pretty vanilla. They cared more about my three speeding tickets in an eight year span than they did about me getting fired from a bank for being a careless teller. I had to write an essay explaining why I was speeding and my plan of action for not doing that in the future. The bar is a middle school vice principal.

When I was in college I got collared for pissing on a bush while walking home after a party, well away from the public road. Some real crime fighters, the cops at my school. I don't know what they actually charged me with but it was just a ticket basically. I went to court and threw myself on the mercy of the judge, who when my case was called looked at me, smiled, and said "Littering?" I said something like "You know how it is, what man can honestly say he hasn't used a tree in a moment of necessity?" And he laughed and said "Sorry, I don't have any discretion on this one." But I reported it as "littering" or something, I don't even remember. Didn't seem to bother C&F. They didn't seem to care about my "disorderly conduct" infraction either (same dumbass PD arrested me for throwing an rear end in a top hat out of a party at my house and yelling at him to gently caress off rather than me and my friends giving him the rear end-kicking he deserved). But I reported both.

I remember having to look up all the places I lived in Italy, and it was a pain bc I moved every few months. My background check at the IRS was way easier than the bar app was.

I don't remember, but probably. At the time 10 years would have covered me back to minority and I was even more of a square before I was 18. Amazon was great for address history. I think I left off the place I lived in the Netherlands though.

Oddly, the patent bar was much more picky. I had to file a loving FOIA request to get my records from the local police to prove that I had paid the fine or whatever.

Friend of mine is going back to school and while filling out her fafsa found out her husband has been hiding a bank account from her that has over a half a year of her salary in it. When asked about it, he just leaves the room and shuts the door. I see fun times in the future.

New York did something similar. I forget exactly *what* I disclosed for the month sleeping in my then-girlfriend's dorm room when I moved to Ireland at first, but I know I disclosed something. The bar was about as onerous as my DoJ background check, though more transparent and easier to get answers to clarification/scope questions - or maybe there's just enough of us in New York that bar staff are actually equipped to answer you.

What the gently caress, you people had to go through inquisitorial hell just to get a license to practice? Jesus. Sounds pretty unreasonable. All I had to do was get officially vetted by the police for honorable and lawful conduct. It's much more fun when it's the police doing it.

A judge hit new levels of petty for me today. I went to a neighboring county. They like local lawyers and love to hometown people. At this point, I'm wise to a lot of lovely tricks judges pull to make you look bad in front of clients. My favorite is "Counsel, state your bar number." Anyway, I go in and knock out a prove-up. The judge frowns, and asks "Counsel, is this your signature?" "Yes, your honor." "Please print your name next to it." My signature is above my loving signature block. With my information on it. "Yes, your honor." Then I get lectured as to how this is fraud prevention.

I had to submit additional documentation for the year between undergrad and law school I was working at my dad's lumber mill. Also for the semester I was in another university due to Katrina. Delayed my swearing in by a month waiting to be cleared.

Texas bar asked about crimes in the past 10 years. I started law school in year 7. I just waited until the ten years was up to file the application. 😎

Just joined a Chinese company and I feel the pain on this one. There’s a country which loves itself some bureaucracy. E: when I sat the Hong Kong bar, my first application form was rejected because I had changed the font size in the footnotes of the form (to make a bit more space on the page).

In my career I’ve had several judges show contempt for me in the courtroom (“son, are you even old enough to practice law?”), but nobody has ever asked me for my bar number. If they did I would probably recite the first four numbers, then haltingly start listing random letters, and then shriek “the jig is up [client]. RUN!!!” And sprint out of the courtroom. You’d probably get held in contempt but it would be worth it.

Are Texas counties as big as I assume? That sounds like a ton of travel Funniest home towning I've had happen was the old idiot firm I worked at siloed different cases between different practices, which meant two lawyers in the same room sometimes who didn't have each others cases. Other guy was super late and the judge made me get up and start arguing contested motions I'd never seen on cases I'd never seen in areas of laws I'd never seen . Lost em all!
