do they ask this in character and fitness?

1. I was just wondering what types of questions they ask for character and fitness?

2. do they ask your work history?

3. do they ask if you have ever had serious healthconcerns (i.e. heart related, cancer, stroke)

4. depression or bipolar?


I just wanted to get a feel for what they ask, so i know how to prepare for these

They definitely ask about employment.
Some states ask about mental health.

You can usually check the Supreme Court (except in NY) of whatever state you're in for bar admissions criteria including C&F.

For example, here's Ohio (my state): http://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/LegalR ... govbar.pdf
