Education

Education: Based on an Information Memo from Henry Shelley, Jr., General Counsel at OIG OGC, dated 9-OCT-2012, OCG has determined that certified academic transcripts are unnecessary, as graduation from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association is a requirement in all fifty states before someone can take the examination to be licensed to practice. OCG believes that a current Letter of Good Standing from any of the State Bar Associations is sufficient to fulfill the requirement of proof that the applicant graduated from law school, in lieu of an academic transcript.

There is no substitution of education for experience at this level.
