SECTION XIII. AUTHORIZATION AND RELEASE
As part of my application for admission to the bar of the state of Connecticut, I consent to have an investigation made as to my
moral character, professional reputation and fitness to practice law. I agree to provide any further information that may be required
in reference to my past record. I further agree to execute such further releases as may be requested by the Connecticut Bar
Examining Committee. I understand that the contents of my character report are confidential and that I will not be entitled to
receive a copy of the report, including but not limited to, character affidavits submitted in support of this application, or to know its
contents, unless my file is referred to the Connecticut Bar Examining Committee for character and fitness investigation.
I hereby authorize and request every person, firm, company, corporation, government agency, law enforcement agency, court,
association or institution having control of any documents, records, or other information pertaining to me, to furnish to the
Connecticut Bar Examining Committee any such information, including documents, records, bar association files regarding charges
or complaints filed against me, including any complaints erased by law, whether formal or informal, pending or closed, or any other
pertinent data; and to permit the Connecticut Bar Examining Committee or any of its agents or representatives to inspect and make
copies of such documents, records, or other information. The records, however, will not include any information with respect to a
juvenile offense.
I authorize the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, MO or other custodian of my military record to release to the
Connecticut Bar Examining Committee information or photocopies from my military personnel and related medical records
including a copy of my Report of Separation DD214.
I hereby release, discharge and exonerate the Connecticut Bar Examining Committee, its authorized representatives and any
person furnishing information authorized by this release from any and all liability of every nature and kind arising out of the
furnishing or inspection of such documents, records and other information or the investigation made by the Connecticut Bar
Examining Committee.
