I was honorably discharged from the military in 2003. Two years later, I was recalled to service to fight in Iraq. I have refused to obey the orders due to philosophical opposition to the war and my dedication to my studies as an undergraduate. This will likely result in me receiving an other than honorable discharge. Will this second discharge affect my chances of being admitted into a good law school, even though I otherwise have a spotless and exemplary record--high 160s LSAT and 3.97 GPA? |

I don't know what effect an other-than-honorable discharge might have on your law school admission chances, but it does sound like the kind of thing you'd have to report and explain to the state bar when you apply for admission afer law school. I'm sure it varies from state to state, but in California you'd definitely have to report something like that as part of your Application for Determination of Moral Character. |

If you are planning on law school you should realize the it is all about process. Have you formally notified the military of your objections? You signed a contract and if you still have obligations under that contract or the law I don't know if a law school would admit you, let alone the bar. |
