I just remembered that I was suspended in sixth grade for writing,"I'm going to kick your ass" in some kid's year book. It completely slipped my mind until I was reading someones post about an incident from highschool. Is this going to screw me over later, should I contact the law schools and let them know? What is the best way to proceed from here?

If trolling - 120

If serious - do nothing because it absolutely does not matter.

haha i was being completely serious, I already have a DUI which I fully disclosed, so I'm paranoid about any C&F issues since I heard the CA bar is really intense with their C&F research

Just answer the questions honestly. I just filled out my CA C&F app and don't remember a question that would bring up your situation.

For example, they ask about any academic sanctions during college. If you got a noise complaint or a drinking citation don't click yes because those aren't academic.

What kind of financial questions do they ask?

In general or CA specifically?

huh? I don't believe they ask any financial questions, or at least none that I have seen...

The C and F questions don't ask about school violations before college.

I don't know about CA specifically, but I believe mine asked if I had ever filed for bankruptcy, and possibly about collection actions. It's been over a year since I filled out the C&F though.

Thanks. I didn't think it'd be anything more than that, except maybe a list of any outstanding debt.

At my old job things got complex (nothing illegal; just structuring) and I was just wondering how tedious it would be and to what extent I'd have to deal with it

Are you guys talking about the Bar C&F or the law school apps C&F? Sorry, I'm a bit confused

We started talking about the bar, because no one case about what happened in 6th grade

Oh I C, so one last time to be clear. Do I have to go back to and email any law schools that I have already submitted apps too, that I looked back and they asked about academic sanctions (suspensions or otherwise) at any school or institution, not just post secondary or college? Thats my question

Feel free to send them a short email asking if they include grade school. I'm willing to bet fictional money that they'll tell you it's not a big deal.

Dingbat,

My recollection was that they ask for bankruptcy stuff as well as student loans that are behind in payment. There might have been more, but I didn't have anything to say in that section so its skipping my mind at the moment.

RE OP's DUI -- I would correct the date just to be accurate. No point in making things confusing over a typo.
