STATE BAR INFORMATION

There are numerous requirements for successful admission to practice law in any state. If you are interested in taking the Bar Examination in California, we strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the necessary requirements and deadlines on the State Bar of California website.

If you are considering practicing law in a state other than California, please make sure to familiarize yourself with the requirements of that State early on in your legal education. The requirements for each state vary greatly and it is imperative you are aware of all steps you must take now and in the future to ensure your ability to work as a licensed attorney in that state. For example, some states require that the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) be taken and passed prior to taking the Bar examination, other states may not have this requirement This is only one example of such differences. Be sure you are aware early on in your legal education of all requirements of the state’s Bar for which you will be sitting. The American Bar Association has a link to State Bar websites which provides information on all states licensing requirements.

Western State College of Law does not guarantee third-party certification/licensure. Outside agencies control the requirements for taking and passing certification/licensing exams and are subject to change without notice to Western State College of Law.

STUDENT SUPPORT

We’re here to support you! The commitment required to be successful in law school can be stressful. We want to provide you the resources you need to make your learning experience a positive one.

DISABLED STUDENT SERVICES

Western State College of Law makes a reasonable effort to provide accommodations for qualified students with known disabilities.

STUDENT COUNSELING

Personal and confidential psychological counseling is available to all students at no additional charge. Contact Student Services at records@wsulaw.edu for information on how to make an appointment.
