If you are planning on taking a bar exam in July 2016 be sure to familiarize yourself with the detailed requirements for your jurisdiction by checking the National Conference of Bar Examiner’s website: http://www.ncbex.org/assets/media_files/Comp-Guide/CompGuide.pdf
We strongly suggest you read the Moral Character and Fitness section of the Code of Recommended Standards for Bar Examiners, which is included in the comprehensive Guide to Bar Admission Requirements. This section includes examples of issues that might be cause for further inquiry before the bar examining authority decides whether the applicant possesses the charter and fitness to practice law.
