Waiving into DC from Virginia.
Posted: Fri Nov 17, 2017 1:57 pm
Hello all,
Question: Having passed the Virginia Bar exam, will my MBE score necessarily qualify me to waive into DC.
i. (Related): Is there a way to pass the Virginia bar and not qualify for DC
Facts:
- passed Virginia Bar Exam (awaiting swearing in)
- to pass Virginia, you must generally score a MBE of 140 (minimum)
- DC bar requires a 133
Virginia does not release MBE scores, but will tell you "yes" or "no" for 30 dollars (i find this quite ridiculous). Should I even bother sending 30 dollars in to see receive a yes/no, or should I just plow ahead (takes 6ish months for DC to approve, according to people I work with).
Thank you,
person
