"A number of Supreme Court rulings have stated that the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantees of due process and equal protection do not apply to sentient aliens, extradimensional entities, artificial intelligences, and the undead, because they are not “persons” under the law. On the other hand, they do apply to mutants, mutates, clones, and genetic constructs based on human stock. Congress has, however, passed laws granting at least limited rights to all “independent, freewilled, sentient entities” in American territory."
You don't have to be a citizen to take the Bar. But the question I posit to all of you is: Will he be allowed to take it again? What are your opinions, based on the current ambivalence in the CORP community on vampires, as to whether or not he'll make it?
Each state has its own rules which are the ultimate authority concerning admission to its bar. In 1763 Delaware created the first bar exam with other American colonies soon following suit.[1] Generally, admission to a bar requires that the candidate do the following:
* In most situations, earn a Juris Doctor from a law school approved by that state (often, but not always, this means accredited by the American Bar Association); or, where permitted, participate in an approved Law Clerk program ("reading the law").
* In all United States jurisdictions except Maryland, Puerto Rico, Wisconsin, and Washington, all candidates must pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), an examination covering the professional responsibility rules governing lawyers. This test is not administered at the same time as any U.S. bar exam. Most candidates take the MPRE while still in law school; indeed, some states require that a candidate pass the MPRE before being allowed to sit for the bar exam. Connecticut and New Jersey waive the MPRE for candidates who have received a grade of C or better in a law school professional ethics class.
* Pass a state-administered bar examination. Usually this consists of several parts administered over two or three days, typically including:
o The Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), in all states/territories except Louisiana, Washington and Puerto Rico. This standardized test consists of 200 multiple-choice questions.
o In the jurisdictions that do not use the MPRE, a professional responsibility ("ethics") exam is included as part of the main bar exam. Some states, such as New York employ the MPRE and include ethics questions in their main exam.
o State-specific examinations, such as essays in Washington, Minnesota and Massachusetts. Some states, such as Florida and New York include both essays and multiple-choice questions in their state-specific sections.
* Be certified (usually by the state bar association) as having the good moral character and fitness to practice law.
* Apply to that state's authority responsible for licensing lawyers and pay required fees. Upon approval by that authority, the admittee takes an oath to comply with the rules governing the practice of law in that state, and receives a certificate of admission.
* Some jurisdictions have additional educational requirements; however, Continuing Legal Education (CLE) is generally a matter of license renewal, not admission.
