Law students who need mental health counseling aren’t getting it for fear they will be denied admission to the state bar, according to organizations across the state that are demanding changes to the application.
Student groups at the University of Richmond and Washington & Lee University have sent letters to Virginia’s Board of Bar Examiners asking it to ax a portion of the application that prompts the disclosure of mental health conditions.
The University of Virginia Student Bar Association plans to join the effort, and law students at the College of William & Mary, George Mason University and Liberty University also are considering taking action.
