All State Bar Admission Offices
To get information about bar admission requirements or to apply for admission to the bar, contact the appropriate jurisdiction. Most jurisdictions have information available via their own websites found at http://www.ncbex.org/bar-admissions/offices.
Just like Ohio’s certificates, other state’s law school certificates (available through the state’s website link above) must be submitted to the law school dean’s office, College Program Specialist / Law Registrar Liz Sauders for processing. These forms take time to process, so please submit in a timely fashion. Processing in our office and your submission to the bar (mailing time) need to be considered.
Questions? Please feel free to contact Assistant Dean Lauri Thorpe at LThorpe@uakron.edu or Liz Sauders at sauders@uakron.edu.
