Bar Examination Requirements and Procedures

Bar Exam Requirements: The Board of Law Examiners (or equivalent entity) for each state or jurisdiction has specific rules that applicants must follow in order to register and eventually take the respective bar exam. Students should check immediately after they begin their legal education regarding particular requirements for the bar examination for the state(s) or jurisdiction(s) where they might seek admission to the bar. See http://www.abanet.org/legaled/baradmissions/barcont.html for a directory of state bar admission offices.
