New Limit on Applications from Repeat Applicants with Four or More Unsuccessful Attempts on Bar Examination

Pursuant to Article III-1(D) of the CBEC Regulations, effective October 27, 2025, applicants with four or more unsuccessful attempts on the Connecticut bar examination may file an application ONLY for the February administration of the bar examination.

This new regulation is necessary to address the increasing number of applicants for the July administration of the bar examination. The new regulation will permit the Committee to better manage its existing resources and workload. The Committee also hopes that this regulation will encourage repeat applicants to utilize the additional time between examination attempts to better prepare for future attempts at the bar examination.

Applicants with four or more unsuccessful attempts on the Connecticut Bar Examination are not precluded from taking the bar examination in another UBE jurisdiction in July, and if they achieve a passing score, transferring that score to Connecticut.
