Description

This article is from the King Hall Law School FAQ, by David F. Prenatt, Jr. NetEsq@dcn.davis.ca.us with numerous contributions by others.

10.1.3) The moral character evaluation.

The Moral Character Evaluation is probably the most invasive
experience you will probably ever have (barring an application for a
top secret security clearance), but very little will prevent you from
becoming a member of the California Bar, certainly nothing of which
you are unaware. If you are behind in child support or alimony, you
cannot qualify, but most other people without felony criminal records
do qualify. Just make sure that you fully disclose all of the
blemishes and warts that may appear on your record.
Completing the Moral Character Evaluation Application is quite a
chore. You must obtain accurate information about things for which
you probably don't maintain any records. Moreover, you must get your
fingerprints taken by a law enforcement official. Contact Community
Service Officer Christian Sandvig (<mailto:dpd@dcn.davis.ca.us >) of
the Davis Police Department at (916)756-3740 for information on how
and when to have your fingerprints taken.
