Legal Question in Legal Ethics in California

In California, employers cannot inquire certain questions when they hire employees. Are there such limits for schools whey they require the applicants to disclose the information? Most of law schools, for example, ask whether the applicants have any criminal records. I wonder there are federal or California statutes/ regulations governing those issues.
