What Others Are Saying

"I am well familiar with the problem that the petition addresses. Based on that experience, I support the view that experienced lawyers who are moving their law practices to another state should be able to gain admission to the bar without sitting for the bar examination if they have sufficient experience and are in good standing in their home states. The considerations that led the ABA to develop its model Admission by Motion rule are as relevant today as their were in 2002. Most states now have a comparable rule, and it is important that efforts be made, as you are now doing, to bring this issue to the attention of the courts of the remaining states."

"The ABA, since 2002, has officially encouraged the adoption of a model rule on Admission by Motion. Europe has established a similar system without complications, and, given our modern, mobile society such a rule is an appropriate and realistic approach to our multijurisdictional nation."
