Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

In the Matter of John Hoffman Moran

January 31, 2025

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Moran's application for admission to the Massachusetts bar. It concluded that, despite evidence of rehabilitation and the absence of arrests since 2014, Moran failed to demonstrate current good character and fitness because of repeated lack of candor, failure to accept responsibility, inaccurate information provided during the investigation, and incomplete cooperation with inquiries concerning his pilot certificate and tax filings.
