| Preamble to Impairment Questions |
| Through this application, the Board of Law Examiners makes inquiry about circumstances that may affect an applicant’s ability to meet the professional responsibilities of a lawyer. This information is treated confidentially by the Board. The purpose of such inquires is to allow the Board to determine the current fitness of an applicant to practice law. The mere fact of treatment, monitoring, or participation in a support group is not, in itself, a basis on which admission is denied; the Board routinely admits individuals who demonstrate personal responsibility and maturity in dealing with fitness issues. The Board encourages applicants who may benefit from assistance to seek it.
The Board does, on occasion, deny admission to applicants whose ability to function is impaired in a manner relevant to the practice of law at the time that the licensing decision is made, or to applicants who demonstrate a lack of candor by their responses. This is consistent with the public purpose that underlies the licensing responsibilities assigned to the Board; further, the applicant has the responsibility for demonstrating qualification to practice law. The Board does not 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. |
| I have read and understand these instructions. |

| Note: In this context, "currently" means recently enough that the condition or impairment could reasonably affect your ability to function as a lawyer. |
| If Yes, complete and upload a Form 7 and Form 8 for each service provider. |
