The state Supreme Court heard oral arguments for changing the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar to reduce stigma for lawyers who are conditionally admitted to the bar because of a disability.

On behalf of more than 50 bar members via Zoom on Thursday, Miami attorney Matthew W. Dietz of the Disability Independence Group asked the court to delete Rule 1-3.2(b), which governs membership classifications for conditional members with “a prior history of drug, alcohol or psychological problems.”
