2L's Undergo Extensive Background Checks

The Greater Baton Rouge Business Report discusses the background checks required for second year law students by the Louisiana Supreme Court. The article touches on the comprehensiveness of the checks as well as the efforts of Chuck Plattsmier's office to root out unfit lawyers. As a second year law student, I can personally attest that not only is this report is absurdly long and detailed, but I had to pay for the pleasure of completing it. Luckily, I am confident that I will be approved, but I cannot imagine going through three years of law school only to be told that I cannot take the bar exam.
