say it’s not a major felony and isn’t very public. does the state bar search conviction records for cross-matches? does the da fesearch every perp and report members to the bar? are you supposed to self-report?

it’s fair to say there are probably a lot of “shoulds” applying to someone for whom this is a relevant question.

Good point.

Most states require you to self report moral turpitude and felonies.

I had several convictions. Disclose everything. Admit you made mistakes and explain how you’ve changed in the time since then. It’s not a big deal unless you lie about it, then you’re fucked.
