The laws of some states require that students register with their state board of bar examiners before the commencement of legal studies. Applicants are advised to keep a careful and detailed record of all employment and residence addresses, no matter how temporary. It is highly advisable to secure from each employer, immediately upon the termination of employment, an affidavit showing the length of service, the capacity in which the student was employed, and the employer s opinion of the student s character. A fee is required by the state at the time of such registration. These forms are available in the Records Office.
Students are responsible for mailing the form.
The California State Bar Act requires at least three years of law study to qualify an individual to take the examination for admission to practice law in California. Prospective law students should obtain from the Committee of Bar Examiners a copy of applicable rules, as compliance therewith is the responsibility of the student.
