Here’s what you need to know.Cynthia Marie Rodgers, 59, graduated from Capital Law School and intended to become a lawyer in Ohio. As part of her bar admission, she was required to pass a character and fitness review, which is typical for aspiring lawyers to ensure they have good character to practice law.that her bar admission be denied. The reason? The Court said Rodgers did not have the requisite character or fitness to practice law.
Rodgers told the Court she is disabled and only can work part time. She is enrolled in an income-driven repayment plan, which enables her pay a monthly student loan payment based on her discretionary income. Rodgers told the Court that she expects that her student loans will either be forgiven or she will pay for the remainder of her life.
Not exactly. Naturally, most recent law school graduates have student loan debt when they apply for bar admission. If student loans would disqualify a prospective lawyer, then many new law school graduates would not become members of a state bar. That said, fitness and moral character are important components for bar admission.
Careful of those late payments. Insane
Before people rail against the political proposals, this was a 59-year-old law student with a history of frivolous lawsuits and a husband with $340k in outstanding debt. An outlier from our system’s norms. Media polarization at its finest
