Questions of DiscriminationBefore someone can practice law, they must not only graduate from law school but pass the state’s bar exam. Currently, 41 states include questions in their bar exam application asking about the applicant’s mental health history, diagnosis or treatment.

The video below discusses the impact these questions have on applicants and the diversity of the legal profession.
