Admission to the Bar

Print
As soon as possible after deciding to study law, a student is urged to investigate the rules governing admission to the bar in the state in which he or she intends to practice. The rules of many states require registration upon beginning the study of law. Compliance with bar admission requirements is the sole responsibility of the student. NOTE: Any applicant who plans to sit for the Kentucky bar must have passed the multistate bar exam on professional responsibility before sitting for the Kentucky bar. Information regarding the Kentucky Bar Examination may be obtained from Kentucky Office of Bar Admissions, Suite 156, 1510 Newtown Pike, Lexington, KY 40511 or www.kyoba.org.  See Supreme Court Rule 2.014 for further details. The Assistant Dean's Office can provide the addresses of the bar examiners throughout the United States.
