CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL WHO PASSED THE JULY BAR!
EXAM APPLICATIONS:
For those graduating in January 2017, Summer 2016, and those that need to retake a previous exam, today, November 1st, is the deadline to take the February 2017 Bar Exam. Details can be found here. The late registration date is December 12 (with $100 late fee).
The Feb exam will take place February 21 - 23. The actual location has yet to be officially released, but sounds like it will be at the Columbus Convention Center.
CANDIDATE APPLICATIONS:
For those Second Year Law Students, November 15, is the deadline to register as a Candidate for Admission. You've probably already had Professor Twiss visit one of your second year classes to give you all the details. Details can be found here. If you miss this deadline during your second year of law school, you can still apply at anytime with a late fee.
The process from application to conditional approval to take the exam is a long one. The application itself is long, complicated and requires names, addresses and information about things most of us have long forgotten. Don't wait until the last minute, it will take more time that you think it will. After some time, you will be interviewed by a pair of attorneys regarding your character and fitness. If all goes well, sometime in the spring, you'll get that letter in the mail that you've been conditionally approved...what a day that is going to be.
Good Luck!
