Message Name: Will it ever come back to haunt me?

Message: I recently discovered that Law Schools apps. ask about disciplinary records during undergraduate studies. I have decided to not answer that question, thinking that there is no way that my future law school will get word of my judicial affairs record as a freshman undergrad. The question that I am really concerened with is the one in which they ask about a criminal record. As a sophomore I was booked for being "drunk in public." I had a bad experience this summer at Morgan Stanley when I left this seemingly trivial info. off of my internship application. I looked like an ass and felt like a complete idiot. I should have learned a lesson and would hate to have a similar experience in law school. At the same time, I don't want the admissions committee to think I'm a drunk and throw out my application. Anyone ever ommitted info on the app? Did anything ever happen?
