Re: bar admission
While crimes of moral turpidtude can disqualify a candidate for bar admission, crimes committed when one is less than the age of majority(18) are ususally not a reason to bar admission to practice.
In other words, keep your nose clean (and to the grindstone) and soon you will be a collegue right here on Law Guru.
Good Luck. Oh and don't let anyone disuade you. This is a great profession if you love to help others and remember to treat everyone as you would like to be treated.
