Admissions

Incoming Student Disclosure Form

Our application for admission contains several questions bearing on an applicant’s character and fitness for the practice of law. In addition to requiring complete and accurate answers to these questions at the time the application is filed, the law school also places upon applicants, admitted and enrolled students, a continuing responsibility to reveal knowledge of all criminal incidents or disciplinary charges, even if expunged, sealed or otherwise removed from the candidate’s records.

All newly admitted law students must complete this form by their 1st seat deposit deadline.

    1. I understand that I have a continuing duty to disclose, within five (5) days, any changes of the facts indicated on my law school application after the filing of the application and through my graduation from this Law School.

    Applicants who intent to practice law should be aware that admission to the bar in all states involves character, fitness and other qualifications. Applicants are encouraged to determine the character and fitness requirements of the jurisdiction(s) where they intend to practice law. If you are uncertain where you will practice law, you may wish to review the Standard NCBE Character and Fitness Application, titled Request for Preparation of a Character Report, of the National Conference of Bar Examiners, which is used by a number of jurisdictions' bar admission authorities.
