RE: COMMITTEE ON BAR ADMISSIONS CFN-834192
BAR A
DMISSIONS PROCEEDING
PER C
URIAM
Petitioner applied to take the July 2023 Louisiana bar examination. By letter dated
May 23, 2023, the Committee on Bar Admissions (“Committee”) advised petitioner that it
could not certify him to take the bar exam on character and fitness grounds primarily
involving his history of drug- and alcohol-related criminal offenses.
Petitioner then applied to this court for permission to take the bar exam. On June
14, 2023, we granted petitioner permission to sit for the bar exam, with the condition that,
upon his successful completion of the exam, he apply for the appointment of a
commissioner to take character and fitness evidence. In re: Committee on Bar Admissions
CFN-834192, 23-0769 (La. 6/14/23), 362 So. 3d 402.
Petitioner successfully passed the July 2023 bar exam. He then applied to this court,
seeking the appointment of a commissioner. We remanded this matter to the Committee
on Bar Admissions Panel on Character and Fitness to conduct an investigation and
appointed a commissioner to take character and fitness evidence.
Following a hearing, the commissioner filed his report with this court,
recommending that petitioner be admitted to the practice of law. Neither party objected to
this recommendation.
Considering the commissioner’ s recommendation and the entire record of this
proceeding, we conclude petitioner is eligible to be admitted to the practice of law in
Louisiana.
ADMISS
ION GRANTED.
