OP again. was told that the incident did come up on my check, and I think that disclosing may have assured that I didn't get the offer rescinded. FYI for others.

Completely false.
Read the new legislation. You have to have a specific reason for why the conviction makes the candidate a risk. You also have to provide them with detailed information on how the law applies to them and how they can file a complaint with the DC gov. What other state has these mandates?
OP here. i agree and disagree. disagree in the sense that the law appears to have no teeth. an applicant/employee can file a complaint with the DC govt, but there is no private cause of action, and the potential penalty is a fine of up to a few thousand dollars. i also think that a biglaw firm could somehow justify dinging a candidate for any blemish on his/her record.

Now, you don't have to worry about it. If the investigation is thorough, they will find out.

I work in a different area. My work involves Security Clearances. In this, they give a form which includes arrests. In that circumstance disclose.
I would look at the questions asked: if they talk about convictions, no need to disclose. If they talk about arrests, better to disclose.
FWIW, I have some experience with ambian. My take is it does not help you sleep, but you forget you were awake all night.

I would NOT disclose. The incident and the result sounds unbelievably sketchy and will definitely raise huge question marks.

Smart idea, in general.
