In re Application of Chapman
Supreme Court of Ohio
630 N.E.2d 322 (1994)
Relevant factsFree
After passing the Ohio bar exam, Chapman (defendant) was found to have engaged in deceptive and unconscionable sales practices in a lawsuit involving his father's business, which he admitted to at a character and fitness hearing; the review panel and Board of Commissioners found he had not met his burden of proving good character and fitness, recommending he not be permitted to reapply for about two-and-a-half years, after which he could undergo further character review, and Chapman objected to the Board's findings and recommendation.
IssueFree
Whether an applicant for admission to practice law in Ohio, denied admission based on character and fitness, may reapply for admission.
