Rule 11B Admission by Transferred Uniform Bar Examination Score

(a) General Requirements. An applicant for admission to the Maine bar may transfer a Uniform Bar Examination score earned in another jurisdiction upon filing of an application and payment of the fees required by Rule 6.

(b) Qualifying Scores. A Uniform Bar Examination score qualifies for transfer if it meets the most recent passing score for the Maine bar examination set by the Board pursuant to Rule 10(c)(3) and was earned in an administration of the Uniform Bar Examination that occurred within 3 years before the applicant’s application for admission to the Maine bar.

(c) Educational Qualifications. Before transferring any Uniform Bar Examination score, each applicant shall produce to the Board satisfactory evidence that the applicant meets the educational qualifications required for admission to the Maine bar by examination.

(d) Admission Within One Year of Application Filing Date. The applicant must be admitted to practice within one year from the time that the application is filed with the Board. This one-year period may be enlarged by successive one-year periods by a Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court on motion for good cause shown during the period. The procedure for filing a motion to enlarge under this section is the same as in Rule 10(g).
