I am applying to Law school and was wondering what I answer to this question.
"Have you been charged, convicted, or forfeited bond or bail in any court proceeding of a criminal nature (including major traffic offenses?"
When i was 18 I was cited with an MIP in the state of Oregon. I paid a fine of $75 and that was it. I am now 23 trying to get into law school. That was my first an only MIP. How much into detail do I go describing what happened etc. on my applications? Will they place a lot of weight on the fact that I have one? I know I probably could have gotten it expunged, but I never did. Now im nervous......What is the best way to handle this???
