In Re Stephen Randall Glass on Admission

Summary

The court declined to admit Stephen Randall Glass to the California bar because he failed to prove rehabilitation and current moral fitness after an extensive course of journalistic deception and later omissions and misrepresentations in his bar application. The court independently weighed the evidence and concluded that Glass's therapy, remorse, character testimony, and professional and community activities did not establish the sustained, truly exemplary conduct required after serious misconduct.
