The Florida Supreme Court adopted amendments to its bar admissions rules

 The amendments to Bar Admission Rule 3-11 replace outdated terminology in subdivisions (j) and (k)  with the terms used in the current version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) for mental and substance use disorders and clarify that the Board’s investigative focus with respect to such disorders is on whether the disorder “may impair the ability to practice law.”

3-11 Disqualifying Conduct. A record manifesting a lack of honesty,
trustworthiness, diligence, or reliability of an applicant or registrant may constitute
a basis for denial of admission. The revelation or discovery of any of the
following may be cause for further inquiry before the board recommends whether
the applicant or registrant possesses the character and fitness to practice law:
(a)-(i) [NO CHANGE]
(j) evidence of mental or emotional instabilitya mental disorder that may
impair the ability to practice law;
(k) evidence of drug or alcohol dependencya substance use disorder that
may impair the ability to practice law;
(l)-(n) [NO CHANGE]
