The Vermont Supreme Court regulates the practice of law in Vermont pursuant to its constitutional and inherent authority.  Admission to the practice of law in Vermont is by admission to the Bar of the Vermont Supreme Court.  By its orders embodied in rules, the Supreme Court has created a Board of Bar Examiners to certify the professional competence of applicants for admission, a Character and Fitness Committee to certify the moral character and fitness of applicants for admission, and a Professional Responsibility Board to receive and investigate complaints of misconduct by or disability of admitted attorneys.

The Board interprets and applies the Rules of Admission to the Bar of the Vermont Supreme Court.  Its major responsibilities include the following:

1) preparing, administering, and grading the essay questions which comprises one part of the bar examination;
 
2) reviewing, administering and grading the Multistate Performance Test, which comprises one part of the bar examination;
 
3) administering the Multistate Bar Examination, which comprises one part of the bar examination;
 
4) receiving applications for admission and determining whether applicants have met the several requirements for admission either by examination or admission on motion;
 
5) certifying to the Supreme Court those applicants found to meet the requirement of minimal professional competence and qualified for admission under the Rules;
 
6) ruling on petitions for discretionary action, primarily requests to interpret or waive provisions in the Rules of Admission; and
 
7) making recommendations for rule changes to the Supreme Court as appropriate.

The Committee is responsible for investigating the moral character and fitness of applicants for admission.  The Committee verifies information supplied on the admission application such as employment, education, credit history, criminal history and references.  The Committee may request additional information and a personal interview.  Applicants are reminded to answer fully and accurately all questions asked.

After investigating, the Committee certifies to the Supreme Court those applicants found to possess the requisite good moral character and fitness as defined by the Rules.

The central purpose of attorney licensing is to serve the public interest.  Attorneys play a crucial role in the commercial and personal affairs of citizens.  The public relies in part upon attorney licensing for protection from the unscrupulous and the incompetent.
 
The bar examination is an appropriate means for applying a uniform standard of minimum legal competence for individuals seeking to engage in the profession of the practice of law.  By means of the examination, the Vermont Supreme Court seeks to ensure that individuals admitted to the practice of law in Vermont have attained a degree of minimum professional competence essential to enable them to recognize the legal rights and responsibilities of their clients and to offer effective representation to those clients.

An applicant for admission must have completed certain educational requirements, demonstrate professional competence by passing a bar examination or through experience in the active practice of law for a specified period of time in another jurisdiction, be of good moral character and fitness, be at least eighteen years of age, and be a citizen of the United States or an alien lawfully present in the United States.

Most applicants are graduates of ABA-approved law schools, but there are several other ways in which an applicant for admission by examination can fulfill Vermont’s educational requirements to be eligible for admission by examination.
 
Vermont has a “law office study” program to satisfy educational requirements in lieu of graduation from an approved law school.  It requires not less than four years of study.  That study is done in the law office and under the supervision of a Vermont attorney who has been admitted for at least three years at the time study commences. 

 

It is the responsibility of the student to locate a sponsoring attorney under whom the study will take place.  There is a recommended course of study at http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/BBE/4yrcoursestudy.htm    

and a listing of suggested clinical experiences at http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/BBE/bbelibrary/ClinicalExperiences.pdf

 

To register for the program, you must file the registration form http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/eforms/LOS_1.pdf and the 4-Year Law Office Study Commencement form

http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/eforms/LOS_4.pdf along with the $200 registration fee.

With the approval of the Supreme Court and subject to the discretion of the Board, a four-year program can also be completed by:
 
(1) attendance at an approved law school and not less than two years of law office study in Vermont, or

(2) graduation or attendance at an unapproved law school and not less than two years of law office study in Vermont, or

(3) law office study in another state that has an established program of law office study leading to admission and not less than two years of law office study in Vermont, or

(4) admission in a foreign nation that is a common law jurisdiction and not less than two years of law office study in Vermont.

 

In addition, if you are admitted in another jurisdiction at the time of application in Vermont, the approved law school requirement may not apply.

In its discretion, the Board of Bar Examiners may give up to two years of credit toward the law office study program upon successful completion of one year of law school.

The Vermont rules of admission recognize that despite being qualified to do so, not everyone has the ability to attend law school, either on a full-time or a part-time basis.  The four-year program affords those individuals an opportunity to study for the law with experienced Vermont attorneys who closely supervise their studies so as to ensure an in-depth exposure to a variety of legal subjects.
 
A four-year clerkship places a significant responsibility upon the clerk to engage in, and the sponsoring attorney to provide, a thorough and systematic study equivalent to a formal law school education.
 
Four-year law clerks should realize that not every law office engages in the variety of substantive and procedural law established in Section 10(a) of the Rules as the base of legal knowledge necessary to demonstrate minimum legal competence.  It may be necessary to undertake independent studies beyond the duties ordinarily assigned by the supervising attorney.

Time for the four-year clerkship is accumulated in one-year blocks.  If you commence a clerkship in March, your “clerkship year” year is March through the following February.
 
The time is counted by weeks:  a week of study is defined as not less than twenty-five hours in a seven-day period.  A year of study is forty-four weeks during a twelve-month calendar period.
 
If you discontinue your clerkship during your individual year cycle, you may receive partial credit at the discretion of the Board of Bar Examiners. 

 

The two forms required for reporting the time spent and subjects covered during each six-month reporting period are available at

http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/eforms/LOS_2.pdf and http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/eforms/LOS_6.pdf

The report is filed on forms available from the Board of Bar Examiners http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/eforms/LOS_3.pdf

and is in a narrative form.  It may include, but need not be limited to, the following information about the previous six months of law office study: 
 
(1) the topics of law studied in that time;

(2) the nature of work assigned by the supervisor, e.g., written assignments (listing examples of subject matters of legal memoranda written), and skills learned (title searches, preparation of motions or other documents for filing, interviewing, etc.);

(3) outside readings or independent studies;

(4) legal education programs attended (bar review courses, skills courses, VBA, law school or other professional legal education seminars, etc);

(5) your general comments about the development of your legal knowledge and experiences; and

(6) certification of time spent on law office study during the reporting period by the use of the form available at http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/eforms/LOS_2.pdf

 
 Each four-year law clerk is assigned to an examiner who reviews the six-month reports during the clerk’s course of study.  The examiner can take one of the following actions:
 

(1) accept the report as submitted;
 
(2) approve the report but make written suggestions for future reports or study;
 
(3) request a personal interview or additional information pending approval; or
 
(4) disapprove credit either totally or partially.
 
Approval of six-month reports is not a certification by the examiner or the Board of Bar Examiners that the course of study is sufficiently broad or detailed to ensure that the individual will be found minimally competent and pass the bar examination.  Instead it is a process to ensure compliance with the Rules.

Yes.  Applicants for admission, whether by examination or on motion without examination, must serve a three-month clerkship of law office study in Vermont.
 
There are two exceptions to the clerkship requirement:
 
(1) Applicants for admission by examination who have completed a four-year law office study are not required to complete any additional law office study. 

(2) Applicants seeking admission under Section 7(e) (the New Hampshire/Maine reciprocal rule) do not have to complete any clerkship if they have completed at least 15 hours of Board of Bar Examiner-approved continuing legal education on Vermont practice and procedure in the year immediately preceding the application.

 

The form for registering the commencement of your clerkship is available at http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/eforms/BBE_1.pdf    This form must be filed with 30 days of commencement of the clerkship along with the $25 fee.  You will see that there are two options for completing the clerkship.  One is for a minimum of 25 hours during a 7-day period and the other is for a minimum of 30 hours during a 14-day period.   Twelve weeks are required under the first option and 24 weeks are required under the second.  A termination form must be filed after completion of the clerkship and is also available at http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/eforms/BBE%202.pdf

 

We recommend that the application process be started before or at the same time the clerkship is commenced, as it takes three months for the character investigation to be completed.

The clerkship is an educational requirement designed in part to ensure that newly-admitted attorneys are familiar with Vermont law, particularly practice and procedures.  The applicant should develop, with the supervising attorney, a systematic course of study for preparation in the general practice of law in Vermont.  The supervising attorney should provide the greatest breadth of experience during the clerkship, including enlisting the assistance of other attorneys as appropriate. 
 
The clerkship also serves a mentorship purpose:  after completing a clerkship, the newly-admitted attorney will have developed a professional relationship with an experienced Vermont attorney with whom he or she may be able to consult during the early stages of professional practice.

The clerkship may be done after the first year of law school and within two years of examination.  It may be done in stages, for example, during two summer recesses from law school or as a student internship.

Prospective clerks must find their own clerkships by directly contacting eligible attorneys.  The Vermont Bar Association (a voluntary, professional organization of Vermont attorneys) publishes a booklet with the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all admitted attorneys.  It also publishes a newsletter and may print a short advertisement by any individual seeking a clerkship.

Not necessarily, although clerking in Vermont is preferable since the focus of the clerkship study must be on Vermont law.  If you are considering a clerkship outside the state, we strongly recommend that you contact the Board of Bar Examiners in advance to ensure that the proposed clerkship will meet that requirement. 

Whether a clerk is employed and compensated by the sponsoring attorney during the clerkship is a private matter between the attorney and clerk.

 The Vermont bar examination, which is offered twice a year, consists of two parts:
 

(1) An essay examination, consisting of four essay questions prepared by the Board of Bar Examiners plus two Multistate Performance Test (MPT) questions prepared by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE).  The MPT questions are each allotted 1½ hours, and the four essay questions must be completed in a four-hour time period.  Potential testing subjects are listed in Section 10(a) of the Rules.
  
(2) The Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) prepared by the NCBE.  The MBE is an objective six-hour examination containing 200 questions.  The examination is divided into two periods of three hours each, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, with 100 questions in each period.  The examination includes questions in the following areas:  Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law and Procedure, Evidence, Real Property, and Torts.
 
In addition, applicants must take and pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), also prepared by the NCBE, before they can be admitted.  See § 6(a) of the Rules of Admission for the required score.

 The essay questions are not titled as to the subject matter covered.  Each question may cover more than one subject of law, although generally the major part of any one question is devoted to a single subject.  Some subjects, such as procedure or equity, may appear to be involved in every question.  It is therefore crucial to focus your answer on the specific questions asked. 
 
 Section 10(a) of the Rules of Admission outline the areas that can be tested, which include:
 
•  administrative law
•  bankruptcy
•  business organizations
•  civil procedure
•  commercial law (including the Uniform Commercial Code)
•  Vermont and federal constitutional law
•  contracts
•  criminal law and procedure
•  equity
•  ethics
•  evidence
•  family law (including juvenile law)
•  general practice skills
•  personal and real property (including foreclosure)
•  torts
•  taxation
•  trusts and estates
•  wills and probate
 
 Applicants should be familiar with principles commonly embodied in legislative enactments throughout the United States, such as the Statute of Frauds and statutes of limitations, although applicants are not required to recite the specific terms of any statute.  Familiarity with codifications such as the Uniform Commercial Code, the United States or Vermont Constitutions, Vermont and federal tax law, Vermont probate law and the Vermont Rules of Civil, Criminal, Family and Appellate Procedure, is helpful in answering questions on those subjects.

 If an applicant arrives to take the exam after the instructions have begun to be read, seating is at the discretion of the proctors.  Consideration for those who arrived on time will be included in the decision.  You should notify the program administrator as soon as you think you may be late for the exam by calling the number provided in your bar exam packet.

 No.  Applicants who have seen model answers prepared by the Board - which are posted on our website once an examination has been administered and graded - frequently think that they must write all-encompassing answers in order to score well on a question.  This is not the case.  The answers prepared by the Board are intended to cover in fair detail the legitimate issues that might be discussed by an applicant.  They typically include citations of authority and contain substantially more analysis than any applicant could conceivably write within the time constraints imposed by the examination.
 
 Section 5(b) of the Rules of Admission defines minimum legal competence as including knowledge of statutory and common law, the capacity to analyze factual situations and apply principles of law to them, and facility for written expression.  These can often be demonstrated as well through succinct, well-thought-out answers as through lengthy discourses.

 The Program Administrator assigns an identification number and a seat number to each applicant and sends an admission ticket to each applicant.  The Administrator retains the assignment reference list privately.  When grading of the examination is completed, the Board sends the identification numbers and grades of examinees to the Administrator, who informs the applicant of the test scores and whether or not a passing grade has been achieved.

 The essays are graded in random order by members and associate members of the Board of Bar Examiners using a ten-point scale.  In grading the answers, examiners consider, among other things, the following factors:
 
(1) responsiveness to the directions and specific inquiry in the question;
(2) analysis and understanding of the material facts involved;
(3) knowledge of the principles of law involved and the application of those principles to the facts;
(4) ability to reason logically; and
(5) quality of written expression.
 
 When grading is completed, the scores are sent to the National Conference of Bar Examiners for scaling to the Multistate Bar Exam.

 The Program Administrator sends each applicant a letter advising the applicant whether he or she passed or failed the examination.  The notification letter is sent approximately 8 - 10 weeks after the examination.
 
 No telephone or in-person inquiries will be answered about whether an applicant passed or failed.
 
  Two days after the letters are mailed to the applicants, the Program Administrator distributes to the news media and to the Board of Bar Examiners a list of the names and towns of residence of successful applicants.

See Rules for Admission, Section 10.  http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/BBE/rulesregs.aspx

You will need to show the Board that you have had additional education that improves your ability to:  (1) analyze and understand the material facts involved; (2) demonstrate knowledge of the principles of law involved and the ability to apply those principles to the facts; (3) reason logically; and (4) improve the quality of your written expression. 

 

Participation in bar exam preparation courses alone may not be sufficient.

You should immediately notify the Board of Bar Examiners at jud-attylicensing@state.vt.us  if you will be unable to take the exam.

 

You may transfer to the next administration of the exam, for a $50 administrative fee.  You will need to file another petition, under Rule 9(e), however.

 

If you do not think you will be taking the exam in the future, you may be entitled to a refund of the exam fee minus the $50 administrative fee "upon a showing of extraordinary circumstances necessitating withdrawal".  See Section 9(d). 

An MBE score of 135 or better from another jurisdiction may be transferred to Vermont to satisfy the requirements of Section 6(a) of our Rules of Admission. 

 

Beginning with the February 2007 administration of the bar examination, a passing grade on the essay or MBE part of the bar examination may be retained for a period of four consecutive administrations.   For example, a passing grade from the 2/05 exam was able to be retained for the 7/05, 2/06, and 7/06 exams only.

The MBE consists of 200 multiple choice questions prepared by the National Conference of Bar Examiners. This exam is given in two three-hour sessions, from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm and from 1:30-4:30 pm on the last Wednesday of February and July.

 

The questions consist of the following:

34 in Contracts

34 in Torts

33 in Constitutional Law

33 in Criminal Law

33 in Evidence

33 in Real Property

 

 A 135 scaled score is the MBE passing score in Vermont.  It was established by the Vermont Supreme Court in 1982 after extensive study, including the recommendations of a special study committee appointed by the Supreme Court to review bar admissions procedures and policy.  The Supreme Court considered, among other information, the historical Vermont and national distributions of MBE scores; the Vermont equivalent passing MBE score during years when scoring methods different than the present method were in use; the practices of other states, including the California Assessment Center Study; and the preparation, format and content of the MBE itself.   The Supreme Court believes that at the present time a 135 scaled score meets the requirements of its Rules of Admission for the demonstration of minimal legal competence on this examination.

The fractional portion of any score shall be dropped for all calculations.  See Section 6(a) of the Rules of Admission.

To Vermont:  Contact the jurisdiction in which you took the MBE.
 
From Vermont:  You should check with the receiving jurisdiction to determine whether they must solicit the score directly on your behalf or have an official form necessary for transfer of the score.  In every case, you must request the transfer in writing to the Vermont Board of Bar Examiners.

The MPRE is a multiple-choice test consisting of fifty questions based on the law governing the professional conduct of lawyers and judges, including the disciplinary rules of professional conduct currently articulated in the American Bar Association Model Rules of Professional Conduct, the American Bar Association Model Code of Judicial Conduct, as well as controlling constitutional decisions and generally-accepted principles established in leading federal and state cases and in procedural and evidentiary rules.

The MPRE is intended to measure both the applicant’s awareness of ethical considerations in a given fact situation and the applicant’s knowledge of the ethical standards of the legal profession applicable to that situation.  It is not an examination to determine an individual’s ethical standards; rather, it is intended to measure knowledge and understanding of established ethical standards.  
 
Vermont has substantially adopted the American Bar Association’s Model Code of Judicial Conduct and Model Rules of Professional Conduct upon which the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination questions are based.  Applicants are reminded, however, that the MPRE tests the American Bar Association’s Codes and NOT any Vermont variations of them.

The MPRE is prepared by the National Conference of Bar Examiners and is administered on behalf of the NCBE and participating state boards of bar examiners by ACT.  It is administered three times per year at test centers across the country.  In Vermont, it is administered at Vermont Law School in South Royalton.
 
The applicant packet for the MPRE contains an informational booklet that explains such matters as the question preparation process, the format, the scoring and the reporting of scores on the examination.  It also contains twenty-five typical questions and the correct answers to each.  The application form and directions are part of the packet.
 
To receive the informational booklet and application form, visit www.ncbex.org or www.act.org/mpre or write to the following address:
 
 National Conference of Bar Examiners
 MPRE Application Department
 101 ACT Drive
 P.O. Box 4001
 Iowa City, IA 52243-4001
 
We recommend that you not discard the informational materials.  They contain important information that you may want later or your application for admission to the bar of some state, or if you have questions about reporting your score results.

 

The passing score on the MPRE for Vermont is a scaled score of 80 and it may be used within seven years.

If an attorney has been actively practicing law for five of the preceding ten years in the U.S. they can be admitted without examination. See Section 7(a), http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/BBE/rulesregs.aspx

Applicants will need to complete a three-month clerkship before admission.  Information on how to order the application packet is addressed in a separate FAQ.

Please request a packet in writing to the Board of Bar Examiners, 2418 Airport Road, Suite 2, Barre, VT  05641, with the fee of $15.00.  See our Rules for Admission, section 7(a) and (e). http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/BBE/rulesregs.aspx

Because it can take up to 3 months to complete the character investigation, we strongly recommend that you begin the application process before commencing your clerkship.

Lawyers who are active members of the N.H. or Maine state Bar and have been actively engaged in the practice of law in N.H. or Maine for a minimum of three years immediately preceding their application may be admitted without the clerkship requirement if they have attended at least 15 hours of specially accredited continuing legal education on Vermont practice and procedure. See section 7(e) for more details, http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/BBE/rulesregs.aspx

 

A listing of courses that have been approved for use under the New Hampshire/Maine reciprocal rule is available at http://www.vermontjudiciary.org/BBE/bbelibrary/Reciprocal_Courses_for_Web.htm

 

This list is not exclusive.  Applicants may file an affidavit of attendance at other Vermont MCLE approved courses which contain instruction on Vermont practice and procedure with their petition for admission, with a request for consideration by the Board of Bar Examiners for course approval.  If denied, the applicant will have an opportunity to take other courses without penalty. 

 

All courses must have been attended/viewed within one year of the application for admission.  Fifteen credits are required, of which at least six must be live. 

 “Service as in-house corporate counsel” means practicing as an employed attorney for a corporation, partnership, trust, individual, or other entity, where the attorney is not in private practice but is employed by the entity, and such practice is subsequent to being admitted to the practice of law in the jurisdiction in which the practice occurred and involved the primary duties of furnishing legal counsel, drafting legal documents and pleadings, interpreting and giving advice regarding the law, or preparing, trying or presenting cases before courts, executive departments, administrative bureaus, or agencies.

It can be any where from two to four months once you have completed all of the requirements for admission:  passing all portions of the bar exam or approval by the Board of Bar Examiners for motion candidates, including the completion of the clerkship requirement.  The amount of time will primarily depend upon when you completed the online application.  The character investigation service takes three months to complete.  If there are any references or organizations which did not respond to the NCBE, then the bar admissions office must follow up.

 

The actual process is as follows:  once the bar admission office has been notified of the completion of those admission requirements, a review of the results of the character investigation service is performed. Once all of the necessary documents have been received, your file is sent to the Character and Fitness Committee for review.   You will be notified of the Committee's decision by mail. 

 

The Supreme Court holds 4 admission ceremonies a year.  Every attempt is made to admit as many people who have completed all of the requirements for admission in time for these ceremonies. 

 

You can expedite the process by ensuring that your contact information, as well as those of your references, are current and by filing your termination of clerkship form immediately after you have completed the required 12 weeks. 

The Supreme Court sets the date of admission ceremonies, but they are usually held four times a year in: March; May or June; September; and November or December.

Administrative Order 41 requires that you inform us of any change to your office mailing address and email address within 30 days. Contact us at jud-attylicensing@state.vt.us.

The Certificate of Good Standing includes an attorney's admission date as well as a statement that they are in good standing.  Please send the request for a Certificate of Good Standing to Attorney Licensing, 2418 Airport Road, Suite 2, Barre, VT  05641, along with the fee of $3.00. Your certificate will be mailed to any address you direct it to be. No phone calls or fax requests, please.  Checks should be made payable to Attorney Licensing.  Please allow up to two weeks for processing.

 

If you also need your disciplinary history, you must mail a separate request for a Grievance History Report to the Vermont Supreme Court, Professional Responsibility Program, 109 State Street, Montpelier, VT  05609-0703  Attn:  Deb Laferriere.
