In this episode, we dive into one of the most misunderstood parts of the law school application: the Character & Fitness section.
From speeding tickets to juvenile offenses, arrests, expunged records, and academic violations, we break down the five key categories you might need to disclose. Learn how to be honest without oversharing, how to protect your integrity while staying concise, and why the way you frame your experiences matters. We also share real-world examples and tips for avoiding common pitfalls—plus why this section can impact your bar admission down the line.
Whether you're just starting your application or revisiting your addenda, this episode will help you approach Character & Fitness with clarity, confidence, and professionalism.
