Even if OP doesn’t pursue a career in law, OP could be found of this fudging of credentials, from employers, since most employers now run a very thorough background check before letting employees start work. In which case, OP would be totally screwed.

On a separate note, I am not sure how applying for admission to the bar will let this come to light, while standard employer background checks won’t. Do they adopt a stricter process of background checks, compared to standard employer background checks? I know that most decently sized companies nowadays outsource their background check process to third parties, which run a very thorough investigation of someone’s background.

What OP needs to find out is whether the standard employer background checks will catch this or not. If yes, OP should lawyer up immediately.
