OTHER STATE BAR EXAMS
Information on the bar exam for each state can be found in the
Directory of
Admissions Offices, for the
National Conference of Bar Examiners.
Students should check the application deadlines, some that begin as early
as January of each year. Applications take time to complete so allow enough time
to fill out forms and to be certified by Academic Services. There is generally a fee for
taking the Bar Exam which can be found
on state admissions offices websites.
BAR REVIEW COURSES
In addition, during the year, students have a choice to take a bar review course. Often Bar Review companies have
their representatives provide information throughout the year at information tables. Representatives of Bar Review
companies have tables set up near the coffee area on the first floor. There is a fee for bar review courses.
THE PATENT BAR EXAM
For students who want to practice IP law, we recommend becoming a member of the patent bar. Information on the
patent bar exam requirements
and instructions for registration can be found on the United State Patent and Trademark Office website.
Exams are offered on an on-going basis, and there is a fee to take the exam.
