Text: 6 The Uniform Bar Examination is administered twice annually on the dates and in the locations directed by the Board as provided in the Montana Board of Bar Examiners’ Rules. E. Deadlines for Filing Applications for Examination The application filing deadline for the July administration of the Montana Uniform Bar Examination is March 15 preceding the administration. The application filing deadline for the February administration is the preceding October 1. Applications must be postmarked or hand-delivered to the Bar Admissions Administrator on or before the applicable deadline. Late applications will not be accepted without leave from the Montana Supreme Court. If the Montana Supreme Court grants a petition for late application, a late filing fee will be charged in addition to the application fee. F. Registration Prior to administration of the Uniform Bar Examination, the Bar Admissions Administrator shall assign each applicant a number that will uniquely identify the applicant throughout the examination process. The assigned identification numbers are confidential. An identification number may not be provided to anyone other than the Bar Admissions Administrator’s authorized staff prior to the Board of Bar Examiners’ final pass/fail determination and report to the Montana Supreme Court. G. Notification of Results 1. The Board of Bar Examiners shall file a report of the Uniform Bar Examination results with the Bar Admissions Administrator. The Bar Admissions Administrator shall notify the applicants of the results by first class mail and by other means as the Board determines to be appropriate. 2. Five days following written notification to the applicants, the Bar Admissions Administrator shall file the Board of Bar Examiners’ report of the Uniform Bar Examination results with the Clerk of the Supreme Court. 7 3. Upon completion of the entire examination process, including the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination, the Bar Admissions Administrator shall notify the Clerk of the Supreme Court in writing of the names and addresses of the applicants to be admitted. H. Post-Examination Review The Board of Bar Examiners’ pass/fail decisions are final and not subject to additional substantive review once the report is filed with the Bar Admissions Administrator. Successful applicants may not review their examination results. Access to the MEE, MPT, and MBE examinations, point sheets and/or analysis is governed by the policies set by the National Conference of Bar Examiners and the Montana Board of Bar Examiners. In the event an unsuccessful applicant requests to review the applicant’s own Uniform Bar Examination results for purposes of preparing for reexamination, the review must be scheduled within sixty days after the date of the Administrator’s mailed notice of the results to applicants.
