Matthew F. Hale graduated from law school and passed the Illinois Bar exam; however, he was never admitted to the Illinois Bar. Why not? How was Hale’s situation similar to that of an applicant to the Illinois Bar in 1950?
What will be an ideal response?
Hale was not admitted to membership because the Illinois Bar authority questioned his moral fitness to be an attorney. His character was questioned by the Committee on Character and Fitness of the Illinois Bar, as he was discovered to be a vocal and vehement racist. This was the first time since 1950 that the Illinois Bar had denied the admission of an applicant because of moral character. In the 1950 case, the applicant was denied admission because he was alleged to be a communist, and he refused to respond to an inquiry about his support for the Communist Party when asked by the Bar.
