If you are not sure of dates, time, places, or other information requested, it is your responsibility to consult the court, governmental agency, or other entity or person involved to obtain the accurate and complete information.

The following inquiries address recent mental health and chemical or psychological dependency matters. The purpose of such inquiries is to determine the current fitness of an applicant to practice law. The mere fact of treatment for mental health problems or chemical or psychological dependency is not, in itself, a basis on which an applicant is ordinarily denied admission in Virginia, and the Board of Bar Examiners regularly licenses individuals who have demonstrated personal responsibility and maturity in dealing with mental health and chemical or psychological dependency issues. The Board encourages applicants who may benefit from treatment to seek it. On occasion a license is denied or deferred when an applicant's ability to function is impaired in a manner relevant to the practice of law at the time that the licensing decision is made, or when an applicant demonstrates a lack of candor by his or her responses. This is consistent with the public purpose that underlies the licensing responsibilities assigned to the Board of Bar Examiners; further, each applicant is responsible for demonstrating that he or she possesses all the qualifications to practice law. The Board does not, by its questions, seek information that is fairly characterized as situational counseling. Examples of situational counseling include stress counseling, domestic counseling, grief counseling, and counseling for eating or sleeping disorders. Generally, the Board does not view these types of counseling as germane to the issue of whether an applicant is qualified to practice law. ______________________________ 18. (a) Have you been chemically or psychologically dependent upon or treated for the use of any drug, including alcohol? yes no Within the past five years, have you been diagnosed with or have you been treated for any of the following: schizophrenia or any other psychotic disorder, delusional disorder, bipolar or manic depressive mood disorder, major depression, anitsocial personality disorder, or any other condition which significantly impaired your behavior, judgment, understanding, capacity to recognize reality, or ability to function in school, work, or other important life activities? (If you are uncertain of a diagnosis, it is your responsibility to check with your treating health care professional). yes no Do you currently have any condition or impairment (including, but not limited to, [i] any related to substance or alcohol abuse, or [ii] a mental, emotional, or nervous disorder or condition not reported above) which in any way affects, or if untreated could affect, your ability to perform any of the obligations and responsibilities of a practicing lawyer in a competent and professional manner? "Currently" means recently enough so that the condition could reasonably have an impact on your ability to function as a practicing lawyer. yes no If your answer to Question 18 (c) is affirmative, are the limitations or impairments caused by your condition or impairment reduced or ameliorated because you receive ongoing treatment (with or without medication) or because you participate in a monitoring program? yes no

I release the National Conference of Bar Examiners and any person furnishing information in the course of the investigation of my character, professional reputation, and/or fitness to engage in the practice of law from all liability of any kind arising out of the furnishing of such information and documents, except when it is shown that such person was motivated by actual malice. Since this is a continuing questionnaire, I will submit such additional affidavits, documentation, or information as may be requested or as may be required by any change in my situation up to the date of my appearance before the Supreme Court of Virginia to be administered the oath of an attorney and counselor at law.
