the production of their diplomas of graduation as heretofore; and provided

An. Code, sec. 3A. 1914, ch. 655.

4. All persons, graduates of a recognized law school and possessing all
other qualifications which are now or may hereafter be prescribed by law,
shall be eligible to take the examination provided for in this Article at the
regular examination of the Examining Board, held at any time following
his graduation, even though he be less than twenty-one years of age; pro-
vided, however, that no such person shall receive his certificate of admis-
sion to the Bar of this State, nor be qualified nor permitted to perform any
of the duties of an Attorney at Law as provided by this Article until he
shall have arrived at the age of twenty-one.

An. Code, sec. 4. 1904, sec. 4. 1902, ch. 399, sec. 3A.

5. Women shall be permitted to practise law in this State upon the
same terms, conditions and requirements and to the same extent as pro-

This section apparently grew out of the decision, In Re Maddox, 93 Md. 727.

An. Code, sec. 5. 1904, sec. 5. 1888, sec. 6. 1831, ch. 268, sec. 5. 1898, ch. 139.

6. Members of the bar of any State, district or territory of the United
States, who, for five years after admission, have been engaged as practi-
tioners, judges or teachers of law, shall be admitted without examination
on proof of good moral character, after becoming actual residents of this
State. Members of the bar of any other State, district or territory of the
United States, who may be employed as counsel in any case pending before
any of the courts of this State, may be admitted for all the purposes of the
case in which they are so employed by the court before which said case is
pending, without examination. Nothing herein contained shall be con-
strued to deprive the courts of this State of the power, as at present existing,
of disbarring or otherwise punishing members of the bar.

This section would not authorize the admission to the Maryland bar of women
who had been practicing law in other states, if women were not entitled to be
originally admitted here. In Re Maddox, 93 Md. 734. (See sec. 5.)

The act of 1898, ch. 139, does not interfere with the authority of Maryland
courts to admit non-resident attorneys for the purpose of appearing in a particular
case. How a difficulty in serving pleadings in such case, may be met. Chappell v.
Real Estate Co., 89 Md. 261.

An. Code, sec. 6. 1904, sec. 6. 1888, sec. 9. 1831, ch. 228, sec. 1. 1878, ch. 400.

7. All persons who are now or shall hereafter be admitted to practise
law in the court of appeals of this State, shall be entitled to practise law in
any or all other courts of the State, upon exhibiting to the judge or clerk
thereof a duly authenticated certificate of such admission to the bar of the
court of appeals.
