Recertification Form

RECERTIFICATION FORM

Read this form carefully. We require incoming first-year students to update and correct answers to the Character and Fitness questions of the 2016-2017 First-Year Application for Admission, which concern students’ academic, professional and criminal histories. The reasons are twofold: (1) to allow the School of Law to determine whether you remain admissible and (2) to allow you to forestall any inconsistency between your law school application and any state bar application you may eventually file. The failure to make a required disclosure on a law school application may result in an investigation by a state bar and, if the omission is significant, an applicant may be denied admission to the bar. Therefore, please:

. Read each of the six questions below carefully. The term “updates” refers to incidents that have occurred since the date you submitted your law school application. The term “corrections” refers to incidents that should have been, but were not, disclosed or were not fully disclosed on your law school application. . Even if there are no updates, you must answer “Yes” or “No” to each question. . If you check “Yes” and you originally answered “No” in your application, you must also either check “update/correction.” Please do not “check” boxes by highlighting them electronically. You must use a physical check mark or “x” or other similar notation. . For every update/correction, you must submit a separate written statement describing the event, the date it occurred (month and year), where it happened (city, state, country), and other pertinent information. This statement should also describe any disciplinary action that was or will be taken. . If you are correcting your law school application, please also provide an explanation for the different response(s) in your law school application. . Indicate whether or not you are updating/correcting the form. . Please sign, date, and print your name at the end of this form.
