602.10104

Examinations.

Every applicant shall be examined by the board concerning the applicant’s learning and skill in the law. The sufficiency of the education of the applicant may be determined by written examination or in such other manner as the board shall prescribe. The board shall hold at least one meeting each year at the seat of government. Examinations shall be given as often as deemed necessary as determined by the court, but shall be conducted at least one time per year. All examinations in theory shall be in writing and the identity of the person taking the examination shall be concealed until after the examination papers have been graded. For examinations in practice, the identity of the person taking the examination shall also be concealed as far as possible.

An applicant who fails the examination once shall be allowed to take the examination at the next scheduled time. Thereafter, the applicant shall be allowed to take the examination at the discretion of the court. An applicant who has failed the examination may request in writing information from the court concerning the applicant’s examination grade and subject areas or questions which the applicant failed to answer correctly, except that if the court administers a uniform, standardized examination, the court shall only be required to provide the examination grade and such other information concerning the applicant’s examination results which are available to the court.
