GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO THE BAR
(a) Prerequisites. An Applicant must be:
(1) A citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully present in the United States; and
(2) At least 18 years of age.
(b) Minimal Professional Competence. An Applicant has the burden of establishing Minimal
Professional Competence either by satisfying the requirements for admission by examination, for
admission by transferred Uniform Bar Examination score, or for admission without examination.
(c) Character and Fitness. An Applicant has the burden of establishing that the Applicant
possesses good moral character and fitness warranting the Applicant’s admission to the bar.
This rule is drawn from the prior rules §§ 5, 6(t), and 11. The
new rule clarifies the general requirements for all Applicants. The
specific requirements for admission are detailed in Part II
(Admission by Examination or Transferred UBE Score); Part III
(Admission without Examination), and Part IV (Character and Fitness
