Office of Bar Admissions
The Office of Bar Admissions is the administrative arm of the Supreme Court of Georgia responsible for the admission of attorneys to the practice of law in Georgia. The Board of Bar Examiners and the Board to Determine Fitness of Bar Applicants are appointed by the Supreme Court to implement the Rules Governing Admission to the Practice of Law in Georgia. The information on this site is provided as a service to those interested in applying for admission in Georgia. It is the responsibility of those who are interested in admission to the practice of law to insure that they are aware of both the Supreme Court of Georgia, Rules Governing Admission to the Practice of Law and any amendments thereto. When the Court from time to time amends the Rules, notification is given to each of the law schools within the state, and the amended rule(s) are published in the Georgia Reports Advance Sheets. Copies of the Rules and amendments are always available free of charge from the Office of Bar Admissions. In case of conflict between the published Rules and any other source, the Rules, of course, govern.
