What are the Character and Fitness Standards?

     The character and fitness standards require that an applicant to the bar be one whose record of conduct justifies the trust of clients, adversaries, courts and others.  The hallmark of such a person is honesty, especially in connection with the application for admission to the bar.  Persons with a record showing a deficiency in honesty, trustworthiness, diligence or reliability may not be recommended for admission.
