No room at the bar

No room at the bar No room at the bar On the off chance that perseverance were the proportion of ones wellness to provide legal counsel, at that point Robert Bowman would appear to be a strong possibility for the bar. As The New York Times relates, all Bowman at any point needed to be was an attorney, and it appears hes spent a decent piece of his life attempting to do simply thatovercoming a troublesome adolescence, ten years of school, four years of graduate school, two crippling mishaps and three ineffective endeavors to pass the New York State law student review. Having at long last passed on his fourth attempt, Bowman was met and prescribed for admission to the bar by the Committee on Character and Fitnessonly to be esteemed unfit by a board of investigative appointed authorities dependent on the size of his understudy credit debt.To be reasonable, the adjudicators choice did not depend exclusively on the degree of Bowmans obligation (some $430,000, including punishments), yet in addition on the way that, in the cou rse of the most recent two decades, hes not made a solitary installment to diminish it.Nevertheless, as Elie Mystal sees in an ATL post: Bowman has piled on the entirety of this unpaid liability so as to turn into a lawyer; how can he get any opportunity of taking care of the cash in the event that he isn't permitted to turn into a lawyer? Clearly that is not the courts concern.One may scrutinize the judgment of somebody whos so resolved to turn into a legal advisor that he endures the law student review multiple times and piles on countless dollars of obligation, however is that actually a reasonable, or steady, approach to gauge a people character and general wellness imperative for a lawyer and advocate at-law? All things considered, as the Times notes, New Yorks courts have ignored unfortunate behavior like legal advisors sales of minors for sex, endeavors to misdirect judges and ownership of cocaine. Those examples have driven only to brief suspensions from practice.Why not giv e Bowman a similar shot to be a terrible legal counselor?- posted by vera
