  2. Have your supervising attorney complete and sign the Declaration by Supervising Attorney's form.
  3. Deliver or e-mail the completed Declaration by Supervising Attorney's form to the Office of Student Affairs. The application will be reviewed and if approved, the Declaration by Dean of Law School form will be signed.

  4. The Declaration by Dean of Law School form will be signed. The completed application will be available for pick up or e-mailed to you in as little as 3 business days.
  5. The student must retrieve the completed application and submit it to the State Bar of California with the appropriate fee. The State Bar will notify both the student and the Law School of any action taken.
