Greetings:
If you might be an December 2008 graduate, this message is for
you.
Pursuant to Wisconsin Supreme Court Rules, you must file a bar admission
application with the Board of Bar Examiners (BBE) no later than 30 days
after your J.D. degree is conferred, or you may lose your opportunity for
Diploma Privilege admission. As the conferral date for December JD
degrees will be December 21, 2008, please note that the deadline for
submitting an application is at the close of business (4:30 p.m.) on
Tuesday, January 20, 2009. Note that the BBE does not recognize
postmarks.
You will not be eligible for admission until the Board has certified your
eligibility.
If you need a 2008 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.
