What you have ...I _disagree_ it's a close call. What you have on the plus side is a many prestigious lawyers offering opinions on a matter regarding which they have no real expertise (understanding a psychopath who also has a borderline personality disorder); on the negative side, specific disqualifying facts:<br /><br />"Glass has never come completely clean about the total number of fabrications and lies he told at The New Republic and has minimized the extent of his deceptions in applying to the California Bar." -- http://tinyurl.com/bn4ky8d [Glass omitted even more when he applied to the New York Bar]<br /><br />The information in the quote above is attributed to the guy most familiar with Glass, whom Glass did *not* call as a character witness, his former editor at New Republic (where Glass did most but not all of his lying) Charles Lane.<br /><br />By the way, I don't think Glass did this stuff while he was a law student. He went to law school *after* being drummed out of journalism.<br /><br />He is so clearly unrehabilitated, it seems to me, that the real question is how the California State Bar Court could have missed the boat, a question I address in "Now it’s Judge Honn’s turn to be the state-bar establishment laughing stock: The Stephen A. Glass embarrassment," at http://tinyurl.com/878s9prStephen R. Diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07165258952900481659noreply@blogger.com
