Law Grad Denied Bar Admission due to $900k in loans

Several of the 60 civil lawsuits filed by the law grad prior to graduating law school were successful including a lawsuit against an attorney for whom she worked for back pay of at least minimum wage which resulted in a settlement of over $16,500 plus legal fees. Whether or not law students should be paid at least minimum wage during internships for private attorneys has been a heavily discussed and debated issue for decades.

Many of her other lawsuits involving security deposits for rentals were also successful.

Both the law grad and her husband suffer from disabilities.

Her medical malpractice lawsuits were dismissed because she could not afford to pay medical experts for the required certificates of merit.

The law graduate received very positive reviews for her work at a law school legal aid clinic.

P.S. Noteworthy is that the Ohio Supreme Court expressly permitted her to reapply to sit for the bar exam in 5 years (2024). This process would involve reexamination of her character and fitness.
