Also the fact the few people I gave angry looks to filed a temporary PO, which isn’t final one when case is dismissed, and fact this misdemeanor case was open, even though hopefully gets dismissed and multiple people applied for a tpo still look really bad to character and fitness personnel?

2) if an individual were to transfer after first year to a higher ranked law school (southern cal to ucla) does the transfer institution run background checks on transfers or also likely not
