I was convicted of 1st degree robbery when I was 15 years old. After being released from prison I've graduated from UCLA, have not had any encounters with the law, and have done good community service. Do you think that the Cal. Bar will approve my moral character determination if I decide to go to law school?

Well at 15, I guess that It depends on if you where tried in juvinile court or adult court.
I think that the most states seal the records of anyone that is convicted before the age of 16...
Why not call the Cal Bar, and see what they say?
I hope this helps!

Offenses when you were a minor are sealed by the court at 18 years of age, so you will be fine

I think you'll be fine. That was a long time ago. But you should get your record expunged, just to be sure. Contact the county court wherever you got the felony (criminal division) to figure out how.
