Applicant Cannot Register For Bar Exam

The Ohio Supreme Court has disapproved an application to register for as a candidate for admission of an applicant who had attended Ohio Northern Pettit College of Law.

The court agreed with the Board of Commissioners on Character and Fitness recommendation in light of the applicant’s multiple  false representations to obtain unemployment benefits and failure to disclose “other unfavorable, but arguably less serious, information about his past…”

He must repay the benefits with interest, fill out an “entirely new application to register as a candidate” and undergo a new character and fitness review. (Mike Frisch)
