The board reviews applications and conducts investigations, and ultimately, makes a recommendation to the Court as to whether any particular applicant is qualified for admission.  \nThis presentation focuses on information important to third-year law students (3L’s) . The board spends a lot of time on beginning students and on those who are at the final stage of taking the bar examination. As 3L’s, you are almost there, and we have a lot to tell you at this stage of the admission process.  \n2  \nYou might have attended a presentation at the beginning of your first year of law school that focused on character and fitness. This session supplements the 1L presentation.  \nWe hope that you took our advice at the 1L presentation and registered early. If you did not, we recommend that you register as soon as you can. The 1L presentation is available on our website and provides more detailed information on the character and fitness investigation conducted by the board.  \nFiling the Bar Application  \n[www.floridabarexam.org](www.floridabarexam.org)  \nPrint and Use Checklists  \n3  \nThe board’s website also has some detailed and helpful checklists for you, whether you are applying with us for the first time, or converting your registration to a full bar application.  \nFor those of you who already filed a student registration, once you get to your third year, you must file a supplement to that registration to convert it to an application for admission to The Florida Bar. You must also file a separate application to take the bar exam.  \nBe sure you use the Checklists. If you submit an incomplete filing, you can face delays in the processing of your application, additional costs, or miss deadlines.  \nREGISTRATION PREVIOUSLY FILED  \n4  \nThe checklists are detailed and provide a step-by-step guide to submitting a complete application. If you registered with the board as a 1L, use the checklist to convert a student or CLI registration.  \nWe recommend that you file the Supplement at the beginning of your third year of law school. This is so we can update your background investigation and, assuming there aren’t any problems, get you cleared before you take the bar exam.  \nIf you wait, you’re risking the possibility that you might pass the bar exam, but not be able to practice because your background investigation is not complete.  \nDespite our best efforts to encourage students to file early, we still receive about 1,000 applications during the week of May 1. If you convert your student registration before then, you’ll be ahead of all those applicants, so file as soon as possible.  \nREGISTRATION NOT PREVIOUSLY FILED  \n5  \nFor students filing a Bar Application with the board for the first time, the application is interactive and must be completed online. Use the checklist on our website titled “Checklist to File a Bar Application.”  \nIf you are in this position, you should complete the application as soon as you can so the board can conduct the background investigation. We recommend you file the application no later than the beginning of the final year of law school.  \nWe will discuss the application filing deadlines in a few minutes. There are TWO applications to file – one lengthy application regarding your character and fitness and one short application that gets you a ticket of admission to the General Bar Examination. If you file your application without answering any questions about the exam you plan to take and whether you will use your laptop, you have not completed the Exam Application.  \nNON-REGISTRANTS MUST CREATE AN ACCOUNT.  \nTo get","cbCainmiWLBn8yXV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainmiWLBn8yXV","pdf",702312,23,"English","# Filing the Bar Application\n## Print and Use Checklists\n## Registration Previously Filed\n## Registration Not Previously Filed\n## Be Proactive","[{\"question\":\"What is the Florida Board of Bar Examiners’ role in the admissions process?\",\"answer\":\"The board evaluates applicants’ character and fitness, investigates as needed, and makes recommendations to the Florida Supreme Court regarding qualification for admission.
