203/205 Application for the Bar Examination

All bar exam applicants must complete and submit the appropriate bar application via online filing. The Board has established strict application filing deadlines and fees. The Board has three late filing deadlines; however, there are substantial late filing fee penalties, and no exceptions are granted to the filing deadlines.
