No. Criminal background checks may review an individual's history for a lifetime. However, records are only available if a local law enforcement agency has submitted the subject's fingerprint card. You may find more information at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's website and even run a background check online for $24.00. Because this site does not always allow links you may find the background search site by searching "Florida Department of Law Enforcement, criminal history information search".

How do you practice law in California if you only passed the New York bar exam?

Practice in a state is controlled by the Bar for that state. To practice in California, you have to be a member of the California Bar. The requirements vary state to state. Generally recent law school graduates and relatively new lawyers must pass the bar exam in the state in which they want to practice. You can also get special permission from the court to work on a particular case in that state. If you've been a lawyer for a few years, you may be able to apply to the bar without taking the test. In California, in addition to the typical fitness, background checks, etc., you have to have actively practiced law for four years. Full details are available on the California Bar web site.
