There are multiple bar exams in Iran depending on the Province in question and there is also a national bar exam to pass in Teheran.

As far as I am aware, seven states in the U.S. allow reading for the law without law school as follows:

California;

Maine;

New York;

Vermont;

Virginia;

Washington;

Wyoming.

Although this article focuses of California, a few of the above states have basic educational requirements prior to admission into the Bar. In California, this is known as the Law Office Study Program.

California:

"Applicants who obtain legal education by . . . law office study must have four years of law study and take an examination after their firstyear. Applicants who pass the examination within three consecutive administrations of first becoming eligible to take it will receive credit for all law study completed to the date of the examination passed."

Maine:

"Applicants may have . . . completed 2/3 of graduationrequirements from an ABA-accredited law school and within 12 months after successful completion pursued the study of law in the law office of an attorney in active practice of law in Maine on a full-time basis for at least one year . . . ."

New York:

"Law office study permitted after successful completion of one year at an ABA-approved law school."

Vermont:

"Four-year law office study program; must have completed three-fourths of work accepted for a bachelor's degree in a college approved by the Court before commencing the study of law"

Wyoming:

"Law office study permitted as a structured course comparable to 2 years at an ABA-approved law school Prior approval of independent study required."

No special requirements are needed to become an attorney without law school in Virginia or Washington as far as I could determine.

All of the above information came from the "Comprehensive Guide to Bar Admission Requirements 2004," published by the National Conference of Bar Examiners and American Bar Association Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar

You can take classes in different aspects of law at your local community college. : )

Indiana has no formal reciprocity but provisionally admits lawyers who have practiced law for five years of the seven years immediately preceding their applications for admission without taking and passing the Indiana bar examination.

In Colorado, other states have to reciprocate for Colorado lawyers. In other words, If Illinois has reciprocity with Colorado (and it does) then Colorado will reciprocally admit Illinois lawyers

I'm sorry, but I cannot provide the names of individuals who passed the bar exam in the Philippines in 2005, as this information is not readily available in my training data. You may need to consult official sources, such as the Supreme Court of the Philippines or legal publications, for a list of bar exam passers from that year.

Yes, a separate bar exam is required to practice law in Washington, D.C., even if you already hold a law license in another U.S. state. However, D.C. does offer a process for admission on motion, which allows attorneys licensed in other jurisdictions to be admitted without taking the bar exam if they meet certain criteria, such as having practiced law for a specified number of years. It's important to check the specific requirements set by the D.C. Bar for admission.

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) released the results for the Philippine Bar Exam held in 2003. The bar exam is conducted annually, and in 2003, a significant number of law graduates took the exam. The passing rate and the names of the top-notchers were published by the PRC following the release of the results, which are highly anticipated by law students and the legal community. For specific statistics and names, it’s best to refer to official PRC announcements or archives from that year.

Yes, past convictions can impact eligibility to take the bar exam, as most state bar associations require applicants to disclose any criminal history. Each jurisdiction has its own criteria for evaluating an applicant's moral character and fitness to practice law. While a conviction does not automatically disqualify someone, it may lead to additional scrutiny or a more complex application process. Ultimately, the decision rests with the state bar, which assesses the circumstances and the applicant's rehabilitation efforts.

The duration of a Safe Exam process can vary depending on the specific exam and institution, but typically it takes about 15 to 30 minutes to complete the necessary setup, including downloading and configuring the Safe Exam Browser. The actual exam duration is determined by the exam administrator, usually aligning with the standard time allocated for similar assessments. Overall, students should plan for at least an hour to account for both setup and the exam itself.

No, only New York requires students to take the Regents Exam

The Washington State Bar Exam is considered challenging by many test-takers, as it covers a wide range of legal topics and requires a deep understanding of both state and federal law. While some may find it manageable with thorough preparation and study, others may struggle with the exam's rigorous format and the pressure of time constraints. Ultimately, the perceived difficulty can vary based on individual backgrounds, study habits, and familiarity with the material.
