Here in Cincinnati, a black man who served 25 years for being part of a convenience story robbery at which a white police officer and black civil rights worker were killed has become a lawyer. The man, who was not the shooter, was imprisoned at 16, served his time, got his life together, got his degree, took the bar and passed it.
Now, the police, judges and district attorney want to ban him from the courtroom, and it has become a racial issue. Most people against him are white, and most for him are black. What is your opinion? Should he be able to become a lawyer, and be allowed to practice?

The real issue before the admissions committee is whether this individual is qualified to be admitted to the practice of law. Because I do not know whether he is qualified, I cannot render an opinion as to whether he should be admitted.
A lawyer is responsible for many client interests. He is responsible for client funds, property and liberty, among other things. He or she also has a duty to the courts and others to act with candor and honesty. To be admitted to the practice of law, the individual in question must prove rehabilitation to the admissions committee. Rehabilitation means he can be trusted with the responsibilities described above. In Florida we have had a convicted armed robber admitted to the bar despite the objections of the police and prosecutors. This shows that it can be done. But the applicant must focus on his rehabilitation, not on racial issues.

Because most states view attorneys as part of the justice system, they don’t trust ex-cons to be part of it. But if the rules in Ohio allow it, it seems wrong to change the rules just to keep him out.

Do the laws in your state allow felons to become attorneys? If the answer to both of those is yes, he should absolutely be allowed to practice. It seems to me that if this guy got his life together in prison, he should be allowed to live it after he is released.
