NY BAR受験資格の事前審査の必要書類

BOLEの規則や周囲からの情報によると、NY BAR受験資格の事前審査に必要な書類は、


①卒業したロースクールの英文成績・修了証明書

 →法学部卒の場合は、法学部のものでOK?
  法学部+ロースクールの場合は、両方出したほうがよいかも。

②卒業したロースクール(法学部)が正式に認められた学校であることの証明書

 →文部科学省が発行してくれる模様

弁護士会(または日弁連)発行の英文の登録(資格)証明書


という感じのようです。


申請期限は、来年7月に受験する場合、原則今年の4月までのようですが、STRONGLY encouragedという書き方なので、期限を過ぎたら直ちに申請が認められなくなるというわけではなさそうです(ツイッターでも、期限を過ぎてから申請するケースが多いとの情報を頂きました)。

まあ、BOLEの方針はしょっちゅう変わっているようなので、早いに越したことはないように思われます。
