^ agree with TX- also, OP has something on her side, so far: the college told her it does not need to be reported to them (assuming whatever last details are cleared up.) She is trying to accurately conform to the current expectations. She is making a “best judgment” based on several interpretations (the college, her own attorney, etc.) Her son can still disclose whatever is required on a law school app, per that school’s policy. Misdemeanors do not disqualify a law student from passing the Bar’s “moral character” test. Not reporting the misdemeanor on the college app isn’t a red flag. It’s explainable.
