Alabama Rule V: Committee on Character and Fitness is a committee that oversees the admission of attorneys to the Alabama State Bar. The committee is responsible for evaluating applicants' moral and ethical character and ensuring they meet the requirements for admission to the bar. The committee comprises members of the Alabama Supreme Court and the Alabama State Bar. The committee has two types of proceedings: a full investigation and an informal inquiry. A full investigation requires that applicants provide evidence of good moral character, such as letters of reference from people of good standing in the community. An informal inquiry consists of a brief interview with the applicant. After a thorough examination, the committee may grant or deny admission to the bar.
