Another Day Older and Deeper in Debt, and Still Not a Lawyer

Finding that he had too much delinquent student loan debt, a five judge panel in New York has held that a New York Bar applicant is ineligible for bar membership.  The court held that the would-be lawyer did not possess the requisite character and fitness to become a lawyer, noting that he had not made any substantial payments on his $400,000+ student loans, some of which he incurred as long ago as 1985.  See the article in The New York Times.
