Rule 70.5 Confidentiality

Except as otherwise provided by these rules, the contents of any application for admission to practice law in this state; the results of any investigation, including the transcript of any hearing; documentation regarding the application or applicant; and the grades of an individual applicant shall remain confidential and shall not be disseminated without the express written authorization of the applicant. A petition for review filed in the supreme court pursuant to these rules shall remain confidential. An applicant may waive confidentiality with respect to such petition by filing a verified statement with the supreme court clerk.

Pursuant to Rule 52, however, any applicant who makes a character and fitness application for admission shall consent to the disclosure of all information submitted and obtained as part of that application pursuant to any request by any state bar, bar association, the National Conference of Bar Examiners, or other admitting authority.
