Neither New York Or Florida

A bar applicant who graduated from law school in 2008 and passed the bar examination in Florida and New York was denied admission by the New York Appellate Division for the Third Judicial Department.

He had previously been denied admission in Florida, where he resides.

The court’s rather terse decision quotes findings of is Committee on Character and Fitness that the applicant demonstrated “disregard for applicable rules” and an “apparent tendency to use the courts as a tool for personal vindication and retribution” rather than for legitimate purposes.
