Top Law Schools

I've been working in healthcare compliance for about six years and took the bar recently so I could qualify for general counsel positions (which headhunters have already contacted me about).There's a 13-point gap between the passage rate for the state in which I live and the neighboring state.

If I fall short in my home state, my plan is to transfer my score to the neighboring state and apply for the bar there.

I'm just wondering what controls those states might have in place? What's to stop someone who failed NY from trying to become a member of the bar in Indiana, for example? Other than the fact that they would have to live in Indiana unless they were working in house.

That's actually the benefit of the UBE. So if your score does not meet the standard of state x, but it does meet the standard of state y, even if you don't pass in state x, you can apply for admission in state y.

Bumping just to avoid possible confusion:
Indiana isn't a UBE state (and, contrary to the trolling above, it is a great place to live).

The list of UBE states is available at http://www.ncbex.org/exams/ube/.
