Time of Notice and Publication of Bar Examination Results

The District of Columbia Bar Examination is administered twice per year. Applicants who sit for the February bar examination will typically be notified in writing of the results of their examination by mid-May. Applicants who sit for the July bar examination will typically be notified in writing of the results of their examination by mid-November. An alphabetical list of the successful applicants shall be published with the request that any information tending to affect the eligibility of an applicant on moral grounds be furnished to the Committee. The first publication shall be at least 30 days before the Committee reports to the court. This list will be posted in the office of the Clerk on the sixth floor of the H. Carl Moultrie Courthouse. The list will also be posted on this website as well as the D.C. Bar's website.

An unsuccessful applicant will receive notification which shall contain the applicant's score for each essay question, the scaled essay score, the MBE scaled score, and the combined score. An unsuccessful applicant who intends to petition for regrading of his or her essay answers, shall request to review the examination. Upon filing a request to review the examination, the applicant will have an opportunity to review his or her essay answers, the essay questions, and model essay answers. The Director shall advise the unsuccessful applicant of the date, time and place at which the essay papers may be reviewed. The review period will not exceed three hours. For more detailed information on the examination and post-examination review, see D.C. App. Rule 46(b).
