Socratic Method / Re: Can a person be exclude from the practice of law ........Felony conviction
« on: June 30, 2011, 12:51:53 AM »
I know I'm late but I googled this topic and I'd like to share my situation, maybe get some other views.
I'm 21 years old and I have a pending felony (Poss/Man/Del Controlled or Counterfeit Subs w/int Man/Del). Allegedly I sold cocaine to an undercover cop last year. I was picked out of an array of photos by the cop as the person who sold it to her. If I had $5000 to pay for a trial I could more than likely beat the case, but since I don't have the money yet it may have to go on my record. I've made mistakes in my past, but now I'm turning over a new leaf. I've been in school for the last year, and working steadily. So if I continue to succeed and stay away from trouble, why shouldnt I be allowed to practice law a few years from now?
