Why This Matters
This isn’t speculation. It’s documented policy and practice across multiple jurisdictions.
NCBE Webinar
In December 2020, the National Conference of Bar Examiners dedicated a public webinar, “Tweets, Posts, and Snaps: Social Media in Character and Fitness Investigations,” to how jurisdictions use applicants’ social media in C&F investigations.
Documented Cases
In re Gjini (Md. 2016): An examiner surfaced offensive online posts during a C&F investigation; one committee member warned such content could “breed disrespect for the courts and for the legal profession.” In re Anonymous Applicant (S.C. 2022): A LinkedIn misrepresentation, combined with prior nondisclosures, delayed bar admission by roughly a year.
Bar Policies
Florida’s Board of Bar Examiners adopted a 2009 policy to investigate applicants’ social networking accounts case-by-case. Pennsylvania’s Board may contact “other sources” to verify application accuracy.
Bar Prep Industry
Barbri’s own C&F guidance tells applicants to “review your online profiles” and remove content that could “raise questions about your judgment, integrity, or fitness to join the legal community.”
Your real report reveals your results, flags relevant findings, and automates removal requests. Here’s an example.
How it helps
01
Bar character and fitness investigators search social media and public records. Wipe scans 100+ sources, including data broker sites, so you can know and control your online presence in advance.
02
Someone with a name like yours may have a criminal record or public controversy. Bar examiners reviewing your name could surface those results. Wipe surfaces possible collisions so you can review them and proactively explain anything relevant in your application.
03
Old posts, data broker listings, and archived content can be removed, but it takes time. Start before your application window. Wipe automates removal requests confidentially.

Yes, in many cases. The NCBE has documented that bar investigators use social media research. Even if your state doesn’t have a written policy (some states do), individual investigators have discretion. The question isn’t whether it could happen: it’s whether you’re prepared if it does.
Knowing in advance is always better than being surprised. If Wipe surfaces something you’ll need to explain, you’ll have time to prepare a thoughtful response, consult with a C&F attorney, and request removal before submitting. Proactive disclosure with context is treated far more favorably than issues discovered during investigation.
Yes. We never share scan results with third parties. The scan is completely private and confidential.
Google shows roughly 10–20 results. Wipe scans 100+ sources including data brokers, archived pages, forum posts, and publicly indexed social media content. We also detect identity collisions (other people with your name). For $99, less than a Barbri practice exam, you get comprehensive coverage and automated removal requests.
Wipe scans social media, news, public records, and data broker sites for information matching the details you provide. The accuracy of your results depends on the accuracy and completeness of those details. Because public records often contain people with similar names, some findings may not be about you. You’ll review and confirm what’s yours in your results.
