Intersection of Career & Student Services: Continuing Duty to Disclose Misconduct
You were reminded of this during your first days here at the law school, but we wanted to take this opportunity to remind you again because it is SO IMPORTANT and can have repercussions when you want to sit for the bar and begin your legal career!
In your application for admission to Case Western Reserve University School of Law, you were required to disclose incidents of misconduct (as specified in your application for admission). Failure to disclose can be grounds for denial of admission, revocation of an offer of admission, dismissal, or suspension after matriculation and may be reported to the state bar. Not only is failure to disclose a violation of our Academic Rules, it can lead to alot of problems when you try to become licensed by the bar of any state. Failure to disclose issues often hold up applications to sit for the bar or become licensed after passing the bar.
Late disclosure can lead to discipline, dismissal from law school, or revocation of a diploma. In addition -- and this part is often forgotten by students -- students have an ongoing duty to update their application. After matriculation, you should notify the Associate Dean Sarah Polly in writing if any event occurs that would change the answer originally given in your application.
If you have any questions, please ask.
