Supreme Court of Rhode Island

In re J.M.

July 3, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court denied J.M.'s petition for admission to the Rhode Island Bar, rejecting the Committee on Character and Fitness's conditional admission recommendation because it was not well founded and J.M. failed to meet the clear‑and‑convincing‑evidence burden for moral character. The Court also set a two‑year reapplication window with specific requirements.
