Bar Admission Delayed

The Ohio Supreme Court has denied admission on character and fitness grounds to a recent graduate of the University of Dayton Law School.

The applicant was convicted of a fifth degree felony while a senior in college. After suffering some financial setbacks, she and a friend were caught shoplifting designer jeans with the intent to resell.

The conviction was fully disclosed on law school and bar applications.

Another incident — plagiarism from an internet source for a college academic paper –was not disclosed.

The applicant will be allowed to sit for the July 2014 Ohio bar exam. (MIke Frisch)
