Chief Judge DiFiore Announces New York Will Eliminate Mental Health Question in Bar Application
The removal of the question followed calls for change from the New York State Bar Association, the American Bar Association, the New York City Bar Association and the deans of nearly every law school in the state. A state bar association working group found that the question should be removed because it added unnecessary pressure to students in law school and may not even be legal, according to a report publish in August.
