About Evelyn R. Calvoni
Expertise
I can answer questions about law school and the process of applying to law school. I recently graduated in May 2008, so it's all fresh in my mind. I can answer questions about how to apply to law school, the LSAT, getting letters of recommendation, writing your personal statement, etc. I can also answer questions about what life is like during law school and the different opportunities students should take advantage of during their law school experience, i.e., law review, networking events, moot court, clinics, internships, what classes to take, etc. I can also answer questions about what it's like to look for a job, what are good jobs to get right out of law school, and general questions about writing cover letters and resumes. I can also answer questions about judicial clerkships after law school.
Experience
I am a recent law school graduate (May 2008). I have been through the process and have taken advantage of many different opportunities throughout my three years in law school. I've done internships, a clinic, been on law review, been on moot court, and participated in several moot court competitions. I am currently clerking for a state Court of Appeals judge.
Education/Credentials
I have a BA in Political Science.

Law School - disclosure on law school applications
Expert: Evelyn R. Calvoni - 9/3/2008
Question
Hi Evelyn,
I understand that each school has different policies for what offenses need to be disclosed (having to list minor traffic violations vs. not having to disclose them), and that schools should tell you explicitly what needs to be disclosed, but I am wondering: do I have to disclose an auto accident that I was in that was reported to insurance and that was deemed my fault, even if there was never a police report and therefore no ticket? It was a fender bender and to my knowledge no serious damage was done.
I'd really appreciate any insight on this.
Thanks so much.
Answer
Hi Casey,
I highly doubt you would have to disclose that on a law school application. Law schools usually just want to know if you've ever been convicted of a crime. Just to be sure, however, I would check with the law school.
When you fill out your bar application, however, you will probably have to disclose any lawsuits in which you were a party. But it sounds like this accident didn't result in anything so I wouldn't worry about it.
Good luck!
