typically no.
you have 2 gateway checks Law school- they ask you on your application if you have committed a felony, and if so to explain. they can deny you. if you lie and they find out they can rescind their degree or expel you.
BAR- each state does a bar check, with references.
Depends on the felony, nature around it.
doesnt look good though, can tell you that.
exceptions are made, but rarely. |

Yes but committing a felony while praticing law will get you disbarred. Alot of form felons have gone on to successful legal careers. |

No, however, you can petition the bar in your area to reconsider. If you can find the person who brought the charges against the wanna be lawyer - and the "victim" will drop the charges then the bar will reconsider and you can get passed by the bar. |

It depends what the felony is. That could have a wide variety of meanings so there's no way we could know with this level of information. |
