application to take the Washington State Bar Examination subject to the receipt of your Law
School Certificate. This certificate has been forwarded to your law school by the Bar
Association. If there is a problem we will contact you. However, this does not mean that
you will be automatically recommended to the Supreme Court for admission to the Bar if you
pass the Bar Examination. The Board reserves the right for further evaluation based on all
factors before full recommendation to the Court.
Please note that the last address you give the Bar Association will be used on all
correspondence. It is your responsibility to notify the Bar of any address change, and our
responsibility ceases when correspondence is directed to your last address as it appears on
our records. Address changes must be submitted in writing to this office with your signature
along with the information that you are a bar examination applicant.
Regarding National Conference Reports: All attorney applicants will be seated
without this report if necessary; however, results will not be available until the report is
received. The request for the report has been made to the National Conference of Bar
Examiners and will be forwarded to this office by NCBE. Action by you, at this time, is
unnecessary.
