IN RE: COMMITTEE ON BAR ADMISSIONS CFN-461218
BAR ADMISSIONS PROCEEDING
CRICHTON, J., additionally concurs and assigns reasons:
I write separately to note that for those initially declined admission for character and fitness concerns, a demonstrated effort of rehabilitative work weighs heavy in reconsideration for admission to this noble profession. See In re: Committee on Bar Admissions CFN-461218, 17-0867 (La. 6/16/17), 221 So. 3d 835 (Crichton, J., additionally concurring, stating that petitioner's "unacceptable conduct" demonstrates a "lack of proper character and fitness to practice law in the State of Louisiana"). Since this Court's 2017 denial of petitioner's previous application for admission, petitioner has diligently devoted time and effort to personal and professional development and established good moral character. Consequently, I wholeheartedly agree with the Court's decision to grant this petitioner conditional admission, subject to a probationary period of one year.
