Rule Sentence · the workhorse
Bar admission requires meeting character and fitness standards; under MR 8.1, an applicant or lawyer in connection with bar admission shall not knowingly make a false statement of material fact or fail to disclose a fact necessary to correct a misapprehension known by the person to have arisen in the matter.

Issue. Has bar applicant A violated MR 8.1 by failing to disclose a misdemeanor conviction on the bar application?
Rule. Under MR 8.1, a bar applicant must not make false statements or fail to disclose material facts in connection with bar admission.
Application (model). A failed to disclose a misdemeanor conviction on the bar application. Because MR 8.1 requires disclosure of material facts necessary to correct misapprehensions, the fact that the conviction is material to character and fitness — and A's omission creates a misapprehension — means A violated MR 8.1.
Pick the right element for each blank:
g1.
g2.
Conclusion. Therefore, A has violated MR 8.1 and may be denied admission.
