You are responsible for ensuring that you meet the requirements for any bar that you choose to sit for.

3 New York bar examination consists of the Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) UBE: a battery of tests that are administered contemporaneously in every other jurisdiction that has adopted the UBE. Results in a score that can be transferred to other UBE jurisdictions

7 Who Can Sit for the New York Bar Exam?

8 Rule 520.6(b)(1) Foreign Trained Attorneys - in a nutshell 1.

Accreditation: The qualifying degree must be from a law school or schools recognized by a competent accrediting agency of the government of the foreign country and must be deemed qualified and approved; and 3. Durational Equivalence: The program of study must be substantially equivalent in duration to a US JD; OR 4. Substantive Equivalence: The country is one whose jurisprudence is based on English common law and is similar in substance to a US JD.

9 Rule 520.6(b)(1) Durational/Substantive Equivalence If your first law degree is either durationally equivalent or substantively equivalent to a US law degree, you can cure the deficiency by earning an LLM degree. If your degree is neither durationally nor substantively equivalent to US law degree, you cannot cure the deficiency via LLM. Durational Equivalence: JD is minimum of 83 credits. 3 years of full-time law study. No other disciplines! The vast majority of our LLM students qualify through durational equivalence. Substantive Equivalence: If you come from a civil law country, your degree is not substantively equivalent.

10 Cure Provision There are two different provisions to contend with: of the Rules of Court of Appeals (Study of Law in a Foreign Country): of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (Skills Competency Requirement for Admission) of the Rules of Court of Appeals (Study of Law in a Foreign Country): At least 24 credits total Independent studies do not count toward 24.

15 Advance Evaluation of Eligibility Required Documentation Official Transcripts: Must come directly from the school. Some schools will not mail transcripts to BOLE.

Degree Certificate: Required if your official transcript does not state the degree awarded and/or the date the degree was awarded. Accreditation: Proof that your law school is accredited by your government. BOLE is maintains a list of accredited schools.

If not admitted letter from the bar authorities stating that you meet the qualifications to seek admission. BOLE maintains a list of countries in which the law degree suffices for the practice of law (many Latin American countries, for instance). If you are from one of these countries, a letter of explanation may be sufficient; additional documentation helpful (e.g., a copy of the statute). Official Translations. If any of your documents are not in English, you must also provide official translations. Get extra copy for translation.

17 Tracking Your Application You get your BOLE ID number when you register. Include your BOLE ID on all correspondence. Make a checklist and keep track of submission receipts for all required documents. Be sure you have submission receipts for all documents and have submitted your Online Foreign Evaluation. If you send something and you do not receive a submission receipt, contact BOLE to confirm receipt.

18 Tips, What to Expect If your name has changed since you were in law school, you need to submit proof, e.g., marriage license, court order. BOLE will communicate with you via . Check frequently. Expect a long delay in review. Can call BOLE to check status. Have your BOLE number handy whenever you call. Use a local address for correspondence with the BOLE.
