An Application for Admission to the Bar (also known as a Bar Application) is a document used by an individual to apply for admission to practice law in a specific jurisdiction. Bar applications vary depending on the jurisdiction, but most include information about the applicant's legal education, experience, character, and fitness to practice law. In the United States, bar applications are typically submitted to the highest court in a state or federal judicial district. The most common types of bar applications are the Uniform Bar Exam (BE) and the Multistate Bar Exam (BE). The BE is used by most U.S. jurisdictions for admissions to the bar, and contains the Multistate Essay Exam (ME), Multistate Performance Test (MPT) and the Multistate Bar Exam (BE). The BE is a multiple-choice exam, testing the applicant's knowledge of the law. In addition to the bar exam, most jurisdictions require applicants to complete additional requirements, including completing a character and fitness questionnaire, submitting documentation of legal education, and passing a professional responsibility exam. Depending on the jurisdiction, applicants may also be required to complete an oral examination. Once an application is approved, the applicant is usually admitted to the bar and must take an oath of office. Upon successful completion of the bar exam and other requirements, the applicant is then granted a license to practice law.
