Keroliyah asked:

I own and operate a small business. I hire employees from time to time and need to make sure they have clean criminal backgrounds. I’ve heard that you can run a background check online first before doing so. Can someone recommend the best background check service online?

How many years back does the background check go to pass the bar and practice law?

Charles E asked:

I am considering law school, but got a felony when I was 18 years old (12 years ago) and am not sure if that would preclude my acceptance to the bar. I was told that no background check goes back further than 10 years, but I’m concerned that the fingerprint check for the moral and character fitness section of the bar may be more extensive. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I read on numerous websites that i could go to any police department and for a fee could get a background check on myself. Unfortunately, I tried this and several policemen emphatically told me that it is illegal for them to do background checks on anyone who is not a criminal. Now, I know a certain jobs in the US require background checks, but in these cases the employer provides a fingerprint form. How can I get a check that the Korean government will accept?
