John, a graduating senior political science major, is applying to law school.
John, a graduating senior political science major, is applying to law school. He has had an enjoyable undergraduate career and garnered many experiences, both academic and social which will assist him on his chosen path to becoming an attorney. Unfortunately, his decisions have not always been wise. During his sophomore year while living in the residence halls, he was documented as having violated the illegal drugs policy on marijuana twice. He was placed on University Probation for one year (as well as several educational sanctions), and successfully completed his year. As he was counseled during the judicial hearing, the record of his misconduct is kept on file with the university according to their policy of maintaining student judicial records for five years after graduation. The law schools to which John plans to apply require a records check which includes conduct as well as academic work.
John’s father is also an attorney (although he is a tax attorney, and not one well versed in higher ed law), and accompanies John to the office of the dean to discuss the situation. They both argue that disclosing this information on John’s law school application will be detrimental to his future, and request that you do not release the information.
