A New Jersey man has taken a Midwestern law school to court after it revoked his admission for failing to disclose a criminal record on his application.

Howard Mark Gorbaty of Westfield said in a suit that it was his “dream to be a lawyer,” but Mitchell Hamline School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota, “heartlessly expelled” him after learning of several cases in which he was criminally charged but failed to list on his application. He enrolled in the school in August 2018, but it revoked its decision a few weeks later, according to the suit.
