Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
An applicant did not disclose a past academic integrity violation on a required form and received a letter of eligibility. The admissions committee discovered the omission afterward. Which action aligns best with the committee’s regulatory responsibilities?
The committee withdraws the letter of eligibility and reexamines the applicant’s fitness based on the omitted violation
The committee upholds their prior recommendation.
The committee imposes a nominal fine to finalize admission without a new investigation
The committee takes no further action once a law school confirms academic standing
The correct choice recognizes that withholding details about an academic integrity violation can trigger character and fitness concerns. The committee has authority to rescind any prior eligibility notice and reinvestigate, even if the applicant’s school record was previously reviewed. This ensures that individuals entering practice meet the profession’s standards of honesty and candor. The other options minimize the importance of the undisclosed matter or sidestep reexamination of the applicant’s fitness, which does not fulfill the committee’s duty to protect the integrity of the profession.
