Counseling Services. IIT's Counseling Center will
have a staff psychologist at the Law School on Mondays throughout
the academic year. She will be available by appointment
only. To schedule an appointment, call (312) 808-7132. There
is no charge for these counseling services.
Bar Registration for First-Year Students. First-year
students who plan to take the Illinois Bar Examination after
graduation should register with the Illinois bar examiners.
The registration materials must be submitted by March
1, 2007. All registration applications must be submitted
both electronically and in print form. The forms and instructions
are available on the bar examiners' web site: http://www.ibaby.org.
Although you are not required to register as a first-year
student, the advantage of doing so is that you will avoid
paying additional fees of $350 or more if you apply to take
the bar at any point after March 1 of their first year.
If you are uncertain whether you intend to practice in Illinois,
you may want to consider waiting to register and paying
the late fee should you eventually decide to take the Illinois
bar exam. The application form is very comprehensive and
requires you to provide a significant amount of background
information, some of which may be difficult to remember
or obtain. I suggest that, if you do plan to register by
the March deadline, you begin working on the materials sooner
rather than later. If you have any questions about the application
materials, you may call the Illinois Board of Admissions
to the Bar at 217/522-5917.
All information you disclose on the bar registration application
should be consistent with answers to questions on your Application
for Admission to the law school. Please note, however, that
the bar registration application asks for a considerable
amount of information that you were not asked to provide
on our Application for Admission. You only need to be concerned
about the consistency of your answers for questions asked
on both forms. You can amend your Application for Admission,
if necessary, by addressing a letter to me setting forth
the details of the omission or misrepresentation and the
reason for it.
Representatives from the Illinois Board of Admissions to
the Bar will visit the Law School later this semester or
early in the Spring semester to answer questions concerning
the completion of the bar registration application. We will
announce the date and time once the session has been scheduled.
First-year students who think they may practice in another
state should contact the bar examiners office in
that state as soon as possible to determine their registration
requirements. Booklets with the addresses and phone numbers
of state bar examiners offices are available for you to
consult in the Registrar’s office and in my office.
February 2007 and July 2007 Illinois Bar Applications.
Applications for the February 2007 bar exam must
be submitted by November 1, 2006 (if you previously
filed a bar registration application) or by September
1, 2006 (if you have not previously filed a bar registration
application). Applications for the July 2007 bar exam
must be submitted by May 1, 2007 (if you previously
filed a bar registration application) or by February
1, 2007 (if you have not previously filed a bar registration
application). All application materials must be submitted
both electronically and in print form. You may file a late
application for the February bar up to December 31, and
for the July bar up to May 31, but substantial penalty fees
apply. The forms and instructions are available on the bar
examiners' web site: http://www.ibaby.org.
Please note: Even if you registered with the
bar examiners as a first-year student, you must still file
a final application. If you have any questions about the
application materials, you may call the Illinois Board of
Admissions to the Bar at 217/522-5917.
The law school sends a “Certificate of Dean of Law School
Proof of Legal Education” to the Illinois bar examiners
for every student who graduates in December or May. Please
be sure to file an Application for Graduation so that we
will know you plan to graduate in either December or May.
All information you disclose on the bar application should
be consistent with answers to questions on your Application
for Admission to the law school. Please note, however, that
the bar application asks for a considerable amount of information
that you were not asked to provide on our Application for
Admission. You only need to be concerned about the consistency
of your answers for questions asked on both forms. You can
amend your Application for Admission, if necessary, by addressing
a letter to me setting forth the details of the omission
or misrepresentation and the reason for it.
Representatives from the Illinois Board of Admissions to
the Bar will visit the Law School later this semester or
early in the Spring semester to answer questions concerning
the bar application process. We will announce the date and
time once the session has been scheduled.
Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE).
The MPRE is required for admission to the bars of most jurisdictions,
including Illinois. The exam is administered in March, August,
and November each year. You may take the exam after you
have completed two-thirds of the credits required for the
J.D. degree (at Chicago-Kent, this means you must have completed
58 credits). Applications for the next exam, on November
4, 2006, are available in the Registrar's office. You may
also register online by going to http://www.ncbex.org/multistate-tests/mpre.
The deadline for applying for the November exam is September
26, 2006 (the late deadline is October 12).
