If you got three DWI’s between the ages of 18-20 (all misdemeanors) and you are now 25 or 26 with a undergraduate degree, high grades and nothing on your record cheap pills since, could you still get into law school and become a lawyer.
*If you are one of the d-bags on this website that just goes around criticizing people without answering their questions so you can feel smart don’t waste your time posting your nonsense, I know driving drunk is very, very bad.

Ha Ha sure, why dont you run for congress as well?
This just happened to someone I know.
She freaked because she was in law school.
She actually got a lawyer to get it dismissed to a lower charge (cost big bucks) so she wouldn’t be thrown out of law school.
So, I am not sure. I wouldn’t let it deter me. I would still go for it
Probably.
You’d have to plead your case to both the admissions people at the law school to get them to let you in, and to the ethics committee of your States Bar Association to admit you as a law student. (And, more importantly, to determine whether you’ll meet the Bars “good moral character” requirements.
Since you’ll be almost 30 before you are pleading for admission to the Bar, and the DWI’s happened as a teen, there should be no problem. (Although the members of the ethics committee will almost certainly make you grovel a bit.)

Rickinnocal’s 100% right. That being said, I would check with your local state bar and attempt to get some real advice before jumping through the law school hurdles. I know people in Florida who were rejected from DUIs they had in late high school. It’s better safe than sorry.
