[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 186927, member: 2672"] I would recommend an early assessment just to be sure of this. I have seen enough people be allowed to be admitted for "worse" offences though and I am fairly confident there will be practising solicitors who have had CCJ's before but have been able to show they are of an appropriate character through showing their circumstances were any of the following: 1) an anomoly; 2) something unlikely to happen again; 3) due to mitigating circumstances. I can't say that the SRA will definitely allow you to practice - this will depend heavily on the details of this specific situation and also the evidence of your character you will need to submit to support the case that you should be allowed to continue with your legal career. But at the same time, I don't think this is an absolute blocker. However, only the SRA can really confirm this. There are some lawyers out there who advise on SRA regulatory matters who maybe able to give you a clearer indictation of your chances, although they will obviously come at a cost. [/QUOTE]
