Not likely. Whichever school you go to, you will have disclosed everything to them.

Now, the incident itself could be a problem down the line, but that depends on the incident.

The way it sounds, you weren't charged with anything nor were *you* put on or threatened with academic probation. Why would this need to be disclosed?

Because schools ask if you have ever been warned.

Despite incidents not going on your permanent record they may be added to your file. You must give written consent for the bar to investigate your file completely from undergrad. Often times schools keep your record for 5-7 years and then destroy anything that wasn't a permanent sanction, expulsion, or suspension.

I had a similar incident that was somewhat of a warning / official directive. I disclosed it to law schools in a brief addendum to cover my back. I can almost guarantee your C&F depending on your state will require you to disclose it to them. Generally C&F for bars are extremely ambiguous and sweeping. You shouldn't get charged with hiding the incident if you disclose it to the bar.

The problem people run into is not remembering things or not disclosing to the bar. Then when C&F finds something in your file you get lit up because you weren't 100% forward.

It sounds like this individual did not attend the school where he wasn't given a warning.

Correct - Was visiting as a guest

If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it/ bring it up in any application, or with anyone else for that matter. But others may disagree with me.

As someone who has just gone through two CF evals (TX and PA), I would recommend that you not include it. These questions are designed to pick up real charges. Not, potential disputes. If I understand you correctly, you damaged some property and paid for it to be fixed. This is not a charge (informal or otherwise). If you report it, you will need documentation for your CF eval. Even if there is no record of it. For more information visit law school info (LinkRemoved) page.

Avoid the headache. If will never come up.

It's already been submitted with my apps, I was just curious if the school would look down on it (since on my first round of apps last year I forgot to disclose). Thanks for all of the input however.

Unfortunately, I'm clueless as to whether schools will take a look at your withdrawn apps again or not and what the consequences would be if they did.

I am not sure I understand the advice. I submitted the apps with it disclosed on there (that is already disclosed on the app/I cannot take it back). Are you saying now it should not be disclosed on C&F when it comes time for the Bar Exam? And if I do disclose it, I have to provide documentation? I guess if I have to disclose it, come the Bar (because I already disclosed on my apps) I will try and seek out documentation (even though I am told it is undocumented/nothing exists on the record/no charges filed). Now I feel like I opened a can of worms with this, when all I intended was complete candor :/

don't worry about it son..
