Greetings:
This message is for those of you who expect to be August 2009
graduates of the Law School:
(1) Absolute Deadline: pursuant
to Wisconsin Supreme Court Rules, August 2009 graduates must file a
bar admission application with the BBE no later than 01 October
2009, or you may lose your opportunity for Diploma Privilege
admission. Note that the BBE does not recognize postmarks.
(2) The WI Board of Bar Examiners (BBE) has asked
that all third-years be reminded that, re the Diploma Privilege
Information & Filing Instructions, at the top of page two
(under the heading "Filing of an Application") are some specific
guidelines. These must be read & complied with. The BBE
reports that students have been submitting applications without the
proper form of payment and/or without the Authorization and Release
Form. Note that the Filing Instructions must be exactly followed
for an application to be considered filed.
(3) Finally, if you need a 2009 Diploma Privilege
Character & Fitness Certification application, it is on-line at
www.wicourts.gov/forms1/bbe.htm
. If you have any questions about the application process, please
contact the BBE at (608) 266-9760 and ask for the Diploma Privilege
area.
Thank you for your attention.
K. M. Kelly
