NOTE: Questions 16–18. Because of the high ethical standards to which lawyers are held, failure to fully disclose
information may result in disciplinary action or revocation of your admission offer or denial of permission to
practice law by the state in which you seek admission to the bar. Applications to take state bar examinations ask
similar questions and bar examiners often require that you include our law school application as part of your
application for admission to the bar. Accordingly, we strongly urge you to fully disclose all incidents. If there is any
question regarding whether you should fully disclose all incidents, you should err on the side of disclosure. It is
also your responsibility to update your application by notifying the LSU Law Center Admissions Office if any
disciplinary or criminal charges are filed or are expected to be filed against you between the date you submit this
application and the date you enroll at LSU.

that you would not be required to disclose the incident.)
B. Have you ever been placed on academic, disciplinary, or other probation for any reason?
Yes
No
(You must report all incidents, regardless of how minor; regardless whether the record of the incident has been
sealed, expunged, or otherwise removed from the school records; and regardless whether you have been advised
that you would not be required to disclose the incident.)
If you answered yes to either question, please attach an electronic attachment with a full explanation of the
reasons for and circumstances surrounding each action and the relevant dates.
17.
A. Have you ever been detained for, arrested for, cited for, charged with, convicted of, pled guilty or nolo contendere
to any crime, offense, or other violation of any law?
Yes
No
(You are required to report all incidents, regardless how minor (except for parking violations, provided they are few
in number); regardless whether you were a juvenile or an adult at the time of incident; regardless whether the case
against you was dismissed or was otherwise disposed of in some manner other than by a conviction (e.g., by your
participation in a “diversion” program); regardless whether the record of the incident was sealed, expunged, or
otherwise removed from the public records; and regardless whether you were advised that you are not required to
disclose the incident. If you are not sure about the nature or the disposition of a particular charge, you must make
a diligent effort to discover it and, having done that, report the results of your effort.)
B. Are there any criminal charges pending or expected to be brought against you?
Yes
No
(You must report all charges, regardless how minor; regardless whether you were a juvenile or an adult at the time

required to disclose the incident.)
