In the Matter of Lajuan Miguel Certion.

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Certion’s application for a certificate of fitness to practice law. It held that the Board was entitled to reweigh the evidence and conclude that Certion’s earlier lack of candor about his criminal conduct showed that he had not established the honesty, trustworthiness, and judgment required for admission. The Special Master’s contrary findings and recommendation were not binding on the Board or the Court.
