Conditional Admission Change In Florida

The Florida Supreme Court announced today the adoption of a new rule that limits the confidential conditional admission feature to persons who are permanent Florida residents, who will engage in practice primarily in Florida and who “can and will be monitored in Florida.” the court notes that such admission is a “special admission status sometimes offered to applicants with a history of drug or alcohol abuse or psychological problems…” The change is immediate and to be applied prospectively.
