Rule 9405. Prior application. In the event that any applicant has
made a prior application for admission to practice in this state or in
any other jurisdiction, then upon said statement or questionnaire or in
an accompanying signed statement, he shall set forth in detail all the
facts with respect to such prior application and its disposition. If
such prior application had been filed in any appellate division of this
state and if the applicant failed to obtain a certificate of good
character and fitness from the appropriate character committee or if for
any reason such prior application was disapproved or rejected either by
said committee or said appellate division, he shall obtain and submit
the written consent of said appellate division to the renewal of his
application in that appellate division or in any other appellate
division.
