Section 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.
