Why do I need my background data from BarApp.com?

Most State Bar Associations or State Board of Bar Examiners conduct a character and fitness screening that requires all applicants to submit a substantial amount of information regarding their past. It is of utmost importance that this information is accurate and honest. Instead of hunting down this information through multiple agencies and wasting money and time, BarApp.com provides a one-stop-shop for applicants, saving money and time.

Don't assume that your records will show up clean or that you remember everything about your past. Regardless of the results you expect to see, it is advisable to obtain a BarApp background information report before the Bar does. Mistakes, omissions, common last names, identity-theft, and unresolved forgotten conflicts can substantially interfere with your Bar application.

Let BarApp.com perform this tedious work for you. BarApp obtains your background information from many separate agencies and information sources, for a single low-price. Most of the results are returned within 24 hours, others in a fraction of the time that it would otherwise take.

What is "character and fitness" and why is it important?

Each state board of bar examiners conducts what is generally known as a character and fitness screening before any bar candidate is admitted to a state bar association. The general idea behind 'character and fitness' is that the public should be protected from unethical or unscrupulous individuals. Passing the state bar exam demonstrates an ability to think and reason.  But passing the character and fitness portion of the bar application provides a degree of protection ensuring that those individuals who are admitted to practice law, by their state board of bar examiners, are worthy of the trust and confidence expected by the general public, prospective clients, the court system and other attorneys.

What about those "indiscretions" from my distant past?

Your state board of bar examiners expects nothing less than honesty and candor. If you omit any material event requested on the character and fitness portion of your bar application, you cause your bar application to be unnecessarily delayed or, you may be asked to appear before a bar advisory board. If there is a problem, BarApp can refer you to an experienced attorney to both guide and represent you in front of your state bar, should that be necessary.
