Disclosing C&F issues which occur post-acceptance?

Say one received a traffic violation ticket (or, more generally, experienced any sort of C&F issue) after already being accepted to a law school. Should one disclose the violation to that law school?
Appreciate the advice.

The advice is to always disclose. Though if a school's application did not ask you to disclose traffic tickets, then I wouldn't feel the need to disclose that.

Just disclose it to be safe. Unless the traffic violation was accompanied by other charges (like a DUI or something), schools aren't going to care about it.

Not only
should one, if most schools have language like what we use in our application then you
MUST disclose things that happen after you applied. It creates serious questions by the school and the state bar when things just suddenly get "remembered" after school starts (sometimes even later).
