Ind. Courts - More on "ACLU Lawsuit claims Indiana law examiners violate the ADA "
Updating this ILB entry from July 9th, Magistrate Judge Tim A. Baker issued an 8-page order August 8th on Plaintiff's "Motion to Proceed by Anonymous Name and Motion to Seal Affidavit Containing Actual Name." Access it here: JANE DOE, on her own behalf and on behalf of a class of those similarly situated v. THE INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS OF THE INDIANA STATE BOARD OF LAW EXAMINERS, in their official capacities. The Order begins:
Plaintiff is an attorney admitted to practice law in Illinois who wants to sit for the Indiana bar exam. Plaintiff claims that the Indiana State Board of Law Examiners (the “Board”) is violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by subjecting bar applicants with psychological disorders “to elevated questioning and requirements” about their mental health history. Plaintiff has filed a motion to proceed by anonymous name and to seal an affidavit containing her actual name because she fears that she will suffer injury and become stigmatized if her mental health history becomes publicized. For the reasons below, Plaintiff’s motion is denied.
