the State Board. In addition to these powers, the Board accredits uni-
versities and colleges in the State of Maryland for pre-legal training
and prescribes the necessary courses of study for law students. Stu-
dents expecting to study law in anticipation of practicing in Maryland
must register their intentions with the Board. While the rules of the
Board are formulated by the Court of Appeals, the Board has the
right to prescribe such rules as may be necessary for the conduct of
examinations, providing such rules do not conflict with those made
by the Court (Code 1961, Art. 10, secs. 2-8).

The Governor appoints three Certified Public Accountants, one each

fied Public Accountants of other states for special certificates of
registration (commonly called "reciprocal certificates") entitling the

persons who pass the examinations, or whose applications for re-

the Governor who issues certificates to them. The Governor may for
sufficient cause revoke any such certificate, after notice to the holder
and a reasonable opportunity for a hearing (Code 1951, Art. 75A).
