Rules Regulating Admission to the Bar in the District of Columbia  \nYou are responsible to read and understand the rules governing admission and unauthorized practice of law: D.C. App. Rule 46 and DCCA Rule 49.  \nChanges have been made to application procedures. Do not rely upon instructions from other websites and sources or from prior application periods to the District of Columbia. You are responsible for all information published on this website regarding the February bar exam. The volume of applications and the timeframe for exam preparation prohibit special exceptions for individuals who do not follow all instructions and deadlines. Your application is subject to administrative termination if you do not complete your application and pay fees according to the directions. Fees are not refundable.  \nApplicants with law degrees from Non-ABA Approved Law Schools  \nIf you did not obtain a JD or LLB from an ABA approved law school, please also read Guidance Regarding 26 ABA Credit hour Requirement for Graduates of non-ABA Approved Law Schools. Pursuant to Rule 46(c)(4), the Committee on Admissions will audit credits from an ABA approved law school transcript to determine if “all such 26 credit hours [have been] earned in courses of study, each of which is substantially concentrated on a single subject tested on the Uniform Bar Examination.”  \nDC requires that LLB or non-ABA approved JD transcripts demonstrate that the applicant completed a degree that is substantially equivalent to a Juris Doctor degree that would be awarded by a law school approved by the ABA. Please note: this requirement may differ from the non-ABA approved LLB and JD degree requirements. Please review these instructions for additional information.  \nProper Application Filing Process  \nFor your application to be properly filed for the bar exam, you must complete these items (details follow). Your application is not complete until you have followed all of the steps below. You must complete all of these steps by the deadline of November 21, 2024, 5:00 pm Eastern Time.

The later deadline given by NCBE does not apply if you wish to sit for the February 2025 exam.  \n*NOTE: If you paid the NCBE background investigation fee for a prior application to the District of Columbia, you will not pay this fee as long as the background investigation was completed on or after June 1, 2022.  \nHow to Register and Apply for the Exam  \n1.
