West's Key45 Attorney and Client
West's Key45I The Office of Attorney
West's Key45I(A) Admission to Practice
West's Key45k5 k. Application.

45 Attorney and Client Bar applicant's failure to meet his parental obligation for child support for nearly 30 years, and his lack of honesty and candor in discussing such failure with Committee on Character and Fitness, weighed against finding that applicant was of good moral character, as required for initial admission to State Bar; behavior of such long duration could not be considered as a temporary aberration.
In re Hamm, 123 P.3d 652 (2005)
