Date: September 3rd, 2010 6:14 PM Author: stimulating ruby theater Subject: CA Character and Fitness Do CA Moral Fitness investigators google search prospective applicants? I have no background other than nasty rumors about me when my name is google searched. I have never been arrested, have good references. Based on the google search results on me, what could happen?

Date: September 3rd, 2010 6:28 PM Author: stimulating ruby theater People claimed I was being defamatory toward them in a public forum.

Date: September 3rd, 2010 6:36 PM Author: stimulating ruby theater Sorry I should be more clear. I made a private statement to another party about an individual that I believed were grounded in fact. The other party made these statements over a public forum and attributed them to me. Then the individual whom the statements were about wrote a series of editorials about me in a newspaper.

Date: September 3rd, 2010 6:37 PM Author: Stirring piazza why didn't you tell them to remove the defamatory statements or you'll sue them? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1413686&forum_id=2#15958684) |

Date: September 3rd, 2010 6:39 PM Author: stimulating ruby theater It never affected me at all. Never prevented me from getting a job. I'm just worried about if the Cal Bar investigators do a google search. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1413686&forum_id=2#15958698) |

|
Date: September 3rd, 2010 6:41 PM Author: stimulating ruby theater Nah, I mean it's true I provided the original information to the private party who them disseminated it. Besides, I don't think a lawsuit would make the google search stuff go away. Does anyone know if CA google searches its applicants?

|
Date: September 3rd, 2010 6:51 PM Author: stimulating ruby theater I would be hesistant to write an addendum only because it might open a can of worms that won't otherwise be opened.
I have solid personal references, solid legal employment references (including gov't), never been arrested or sued, etc.
Does anyone think the CA Bar processors google search the applicants? If so, what is their procedure? |

Date: September 3rd, 2010 6:53 PM Author: Stirring piazza yea they'll google. it depends who/what you insulted/said. obviously. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1413686&forum_id=2#15958776) |

|
Date: September 3rd, 2010 6:59 PM Author: stimulating ruby theater In what sense are they strict? I'm briefly mentioned in a few editorials. Other than that, nothing. It's merely accusations. No lawsuits. How would they be strict? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1413686&forum_id=2#15958801) |

Date: September 3rd, 2010 7:08 PM Author: laughsome knife resort If the Cal application has a section for "Any other disclosures", disclose it there.
If not, mail a letter to the explaining the situation.
The only way to get pwned in C&F is non-disclosure. You can have 2 dui's, and as long as you disclose, you're cool |

Date: September 3rd, 2010 7:24 PM Author: stimulating ruby theater If they don't ask about stuff like this, how is it non disclosure? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1413686&forum_id=2#15958898) |
|
Date: September 3rd, 2010 7:30 PM Author: laughsome knife resort is there a catch-all question on the cal app?
it's much better to be proactive .. non-disclosure will fuck you , the underlying 'wrong' almost never will |

Date: September 3rd, 2010 7:48 PM Author: pearl range i wouldn't say anything about something that might pop up on a google search. first, they would have to google search your name which they are not even guaranteed to do. if you do not have other background issues, a red flag on your character is not going to pop up and they are going to stamp your application without getting too in depth. if you're still worried, do what the other poster suggested and start a blog and bury yourself in that. the dumbest thing you could do is start bringing things up in a C&F application that are completely unnecessary. don't give them more ammo and make something bigger than it is.

Date: September 3rd, 2010 8:46 PM Author: stimulating ruby theater Thanks for the info. Does anyone know if any states actually initiate a google search on prospective applicants? If so, what were the results? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1413686&forum_id=2#15959361) |
