Mental Health Inquiry Is Halved for Conn. Bar Applicants
The Connecticut Law Tribune October 23, 2006
Beginning in February, Connecticut Bar exam applicants will be asked to
reveal mental health issues that occurred within the previous five years
rather than the previous 10, as the inquiry now requires. "It was a way
for the committee to tweak the application to make it as least invasive
as possible," says Anne Dranginis, chairwoman of a subcommittee that
analyzes the application questions. But opponents of the questioning say
the screening process should focus more on current conduct than personal
history.
