Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York
Question regarding proper disclosure on job application:
How do you answer a question, "Anything in your past that would prevent you from getting a medical license or from having hospital privileges?" if you received an Adjournment in contemplation of dismissal, and the case was dismissed (and sealed) for petit larceny about 7 years ago. This is for a medical residency application that will be sent to several different states.
I understand an ACD is not a conviction, that different states have different laws regarding background checks in regards to arrest records, and that sealed ACDs are not available to most employers with a few exceptions: gun licensing, government and law enforcement agencies AND according to some sources a job that requires you to work with elderly, disabled and other vulnerable populations.)

You answered your own question. From what you said you have never been convicted of a crime and that is the only legitimate question a prospective employer can lawfully ask. You may contact my office @ 7188340087 for more info
