Pursuant to Supreme Court of Missouri Rule 8. 13, applicants bear the burden of proving requisite character and fitness.  \n􀂾 The Board will conduct a complete and thorough background investigation of every applicant before reaching a determination.  \n􀂾 Applicants who have previously submitted an Application for Character and Fitness Report must submit a Character & Fitness Update Application covering the time period since the date of their latest full Character and Fitness application or update thereto.  \n􀂾 The Supreme Court of Missouri makes the final decision regarding admission. If the Board denies your application on character or fitness or eligibility grounds, you may appeal to the Supreme Court of Missouri as provided in Rule 8 . 12(d) .  \nTIMING OF CHARACTER & FITNESS INVESTIGATIONS  \n􀂾 Notifications and updates concerning your application will be posted to your applicant home page. Your MBLE processor may notify you if questions arise or if any additional information is needed. Correspondence to and from your processor should be limited to the messaging feature on your applicant home page. Once a final determination on your character and fitness has been made, you will be notified through your home  \npage.  \nNote: You will be provided eligibility status reports via your applicant home page.  \nRequests for status updates outside of these notifications will not receive a response.  \n􀂾 The investigation process takes considerable time over the course of several months. The thoroughness with which you complete the application, when the application was  \nfiled in relation to filing deadlines and the extensiveness of your background are the primary variables factoring into the length of time it takes to complete an  \ninvestigation. Delays result when you do not provide complete or accurate  \ninformation or you do not respond timely to requests for further  \ninformation. Furthermore, investigations are initiated in the order applications are received; it is in your best interest to file an application during the first filing deadline, if possible Filing after the first filing deadline could delay the completion of the  \n3  \nFILE CONFIDENTIALITY  \nApplicant files are confidential, except that the Board may disclose information to sources contacted during its character and fitness investigation to the extent disclosure is necessary to identify the information being sought. In addition, the Board may disclose information to lawyer disciplinary or admissions authorities in other jurisdictions when the information relates to possible unethical conduct by a lawyer or a person applying for licensure in that jurisdiction.  \nIf the Board denies your application on character and fitness or eligibility grounds and you appeal the Board's decision, relevant information in your file may become part of the public record during any appeal filed ","cbCaisXLJQSaveNr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisXLJQSaveNr","pdf",174387,"English","# Character and Fitness in Missouri\n## Timing of Character & Fitness Investigations\n## File Confidentiality\n## Essential Character & Fitness Eligibility Requirements\n## Character & Fitness Conduct Admission Factors","[{\"question\":\"What must applicants prove for Missouri character and fitness admission?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants must receive Board approval for admission and bear the burden of proving the requisite character and fitness.
