This Handbook provides helpful summaries, but participants should rely on the rules and regulations as the governing authority. The Handbook includes information regarding current procedures, which may be subject to change. We are updating the Handbook periodically. The date at the end of each FAQ indicates when it was last updated.  \nThroughout this document, we refer to people seeking licensure through the program as SPPE applicants or Provisional Licensees. You are considered an SPPE applicant until you receive a provisional license. After receiving a license, you are a Provisional Licensee but still an applicant to the bar.  \nThis handbook is addressed to Provisional Licensees, but it also includes important information for Employers and Supervising Attorneys.  \nIf you have additional questions, please email [sppe@osbar.org](sppe@osbar.org.

The information, however, is included in OSB public records and is discoverable if someone asks about the membership path of a specific attorney. (Last updated 6/3/24)  \nWill OSB still maintain a public registry of admitted attorneys?  \nYes. We are obligated to keep records of admission, current membership status, status history, and discipline history. (Last updated 6/3/24)  \nCan an applicant apply for and take both the UBE and SPPE at the same time?  \nThere is no rule against this, but applicants and their employers should seriously weighthe downsides. The applicant will pay two fees, and time devoted to one pathway will interfere with time needed for the other pathway.  \nIf you intend to apply for and take both the UBE and SPPE, reach out to[admissions@osbar.org](admissions@osbar.org) to navigate your dual application process. The Application Portal will not permit you to have applications pending for both programs at the same time.(Last updated 6/3/24)  \nHow long will it take to be fully licensed under the SPPE?  \nOSB cannot predict how long Provisional Licensees will take to complete the program. That depends on each Provisional Licensee’s available time, speed of professional development, and workplace opportunities. The SPPE follows principles of universal design, allowing Provisional Licensees with disabilities, caretaking responsibilities, and other time demands to pursue the program at their own pace.  \nWhen planning their progress through the program, Provisional Licensees should focus on the time needed to complete the w","cbCaiinNcQkbR2Jd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiinNcQkbR2Jd","pdf",633566,71,"English","# PORTABILITY AND RECIPROCITY\n# PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY\n## FINDING A SUPERVISING ATTORNEY AND EMPLOYMENT\n## REMOTE, MULTISTATE, AND FEDERAL PRACTICE\n## COURSE REQUIREMENTS\n## APPLYING TO THE PROGRAM\n## OBTAINING A CERTIFICATE OF ELIGIBILITY AND PROVISIONAL LICENSE\n## WORKING UNDER A PROVISIONAL LICENSE\n## MPRE/ETHICS REQUIREMENT\n## MCLE AND TRAINING REQUIREMENTS\n## DEI AND ACCESS TO JUSTICE ACTIVITIES\n## HOURS AND TIMESHEET\n## WRITTEN WORK PRODUCTS\n## NEGOTIATION SKILLS\n## CLIENT INTERACTIONS\n## INTERIM AND FINAL PORTFOLIOS\n## CHANGES OF STATUS, LICENSE SUSPENSION, OR TERMINATION\n## PORTFOLIO GRADING\n# LICENSING\n# GENERAL QUESTIONS","[{\"question\":\"How is OSB information about attorney licensing publicly identified?\",\"answer\":\"OSB’s public-facing information, including the member directory, does not include how an attorney was licensed.
