tion. All applicants for admission to the Bar are referred by the
Court of Appeals, to which body application is made by petition, to
the State Board of Law Examiners who shall examine the applicant,
testing his or her qualifications for admission to the Bar.
The Court of Appeals prescribes rules for a uniform system of
examinations which govern the Board of Law Examiners in the per-
formance of their duties. No one is examined who is not a citizen
and who shall not have studied law in an approved law school in
some part of the United States or in the office of a member of the
Bar of this State for at least three years. On payment of one examin-
ation fee the applicant is entitled to the privilege of three examina-
tions, but no more.
The Board reports its findings in the examination of applicants to
the Court of Appeals, with any recommendation it decides to make.
If the Court of Appeals then finds the applicant qualified to discharge
the duties of an attorney, and to be of good moral character and
worthy to be admitted, the said Court then passes an order admitting
him or her to practice in all the courts of the State.
