Character and Fitness Board conducts hearings to determine whether applicants for admission to the practice of law can establish that they have the good moral character and fitness required to engage in the practice of law. After reading the hearing materials and considering the testimony, the Board prepares written findings and a recommendation, which are submitted to the Washington Supreme Court for final decision and action.
Licensed legal professionals are required to maintain the highest standards of professional conduct, which is necessary in order to protect their clients from potential harm that could be caused by their actions. The Character and Fitness Board plays a significant public protection role by helping the Washington Supreme Court reach an opinion about whether applicants will be able to maintain those standards. In doing this, the Board conducts a very personalized hearing for each applicant and can be presented with evidence of significant prior or current misconduct and/or inspiring stories of rehabilitation.
