Too late to submit CA Moral Character application in August for the Feb bar?

Post by Poets » Sun Jun 05, 2016 3:11 pm

Is it too late to submit CA Moral Character application in August for the Feb bar?

In addition, can I change the destination of the application from the CA state to another state after submitting the CA application or should I have to go through all the process & fees all over again? I took a semester off and dunno where I end up practicing yet..

You don't have to submit CA moral character application before taking the bar. I took Feb. 2016 bar (and will repeat in July 2016); however, I haven't submitted my character application yet. Plus, it costs $551. Furthermore, the website says it takes at least 180 days to process.

Regarding your second question, each state has separate application requirements and are not transferable. I wouldn't submit an application until you're sure. CA requires registration and applying for the bar. So, the fees add up.
