Having a Lawyer at C&F Interview?
Hello. I have been working with a Character and Fitness attorney, and have an interview with the New York Bar next week. My lawyer said that bringing a lawyer to the interview is unheard of. Is this true?

He/she probably doesn't need to be present for the interview unless you have done something unheard of.

NY interview is really informal. Everyone goes through one and it is no indication that you may have trouble. I think bringing an attorney would not only be odd, it may raise the interviewer's eyebrows if he/she perceives it as a defensive move. If they ask you to come in for a hearing, that is when it would be appropriate to have a lawyer.

Listen to your lawyer.
Putting aside whether it's "unheard of" (which, assuming you have a good C&F lawyer who knows their shit, is probably true), I don't see any benefit. What are they going to do, object? It's an informal interview.
