Second, after you have been notified that the Fitness Board has certified you as fit to practice law, you must timely file a Bar Exam Application to become eligible to sit for a bar exam.
* Applicants seeking admission on motion without examination and admission as a foreign-educated applicant must first file a separate petition.
