A group that includes lawyers and law students pushing to eliminate an inquiry into would-be attorneys' character and fitness to join the bar in New York protested on Wednesday outside of the Office of Court Administration's headquarters in Manhattan's Financial District. Unlock the Bar, which staged the demonstration, and groups that include the New York State Bar Association are calling for the abolition or the replacement of Question 26 on the application to practice law in New York, which reads: "Have you ever, either as an adult or a juvenile, been cited, ticketed, arrested, taken into custody, charged with, indicted, convicted or tried for or pleaded guilty to, the commission of any felony or misdemeanor or the violation of any law, or been the subject of any juvenile delinquency or youthful offender proceeding? Traffic violations that occurred more than ten years before the filing of this application need not be reported, except alcohol or drug-related traffic violations, which must be reported in all cases, irrespective of when they occurred. Do not report parking violations." Advocates of the change argue that the inquiry dissuades people from communities who have disproportionally more contact with law enforcement from seeking careers in law.
