8. Are there criminal offenses that are an absolute bar to a positive moral character determination? Will a misdemeanor or felony conviction alone prevent me from obtaininga positivemoralcharacterdetermination?
No. There is no act of misconduct that automatically disqualifies an applicant from obtaining a positive moral character determination. The State Bar makes moral character determinations on a case-by-case basis, considering each applicant’s history. When an applicant has criminal history, the State Bar determines whether sufficient rehabilitation has occurred to warrant a positive moral character determination.
