FL expunged record - would it affect my application?
Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2022 2:30 am
I am considering applying to law school and am currently prepping for the LSAT.
However, I just recalled that I was charged with solicitation when I was young and dumb but got it expunged since it was my first (and only) offense. Unfortunately, I do not know the exact statute which I was charged with. My question is whether or not I have to answer yes on law school apps when asked if I have ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor? My instinct is no but I have read otherwise so I offer the question up for discussion. What effect will this have on my acceptance chances? Thanks!
