Hey guys, just got my offer for an SA. Wondering from the employers perspective what the best way/time/method of disclosing something that might come up on the background check. I was told to fill out forms on the first day I come in for work in May.
Any advice helps, thanks guys!

Re: Best way to disclose?
I suppose it depends on how serious the issue is. If it's something relatively minor (and something you already disclosed in your law school applications), I wouldn't worry about it; I'd just let the firm do the background check in May.Anonymous User wrote:Hey guys, just got my offer for an SA.

Firms aren't schools. I wouldn't disclose anything that isn't a serious felony or related to fraud or something.

It's a simple possession misdemeanor from a few years back - serious enough to warrant a call/email to disclose before may?

I wouldn't. You might not even have to disclose in may. Firms vary, but my firm just had standard sign offs (I.e. Can we check background, list addresses, can we check credit).
