If you plan to take the Ohio Bar Exam and have not already done so, your Application to Register as a Candidate for Admission to the Practice of Law must be RECEIVED in the Office of Bar Admissions at the Supreme Court of Ohio by November 15.
Please see http://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/AttySvcs/admissions/calendar.asp for calendar of deadlines.

Your required Ohio Bar Certificate of Dean (available on the application link above) must be submitted to Terri Bisesi in the law school dean’s office for processing. When your Certificate of Dean is returned, you will receive an official fingerprint card and instructions where to get fingerprinted.
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.
Do not delay!
