I am informed that the results from the October 2017 Legal Specialist Examination are being sent via U.S. mail today, March 15, right on schedule. The pass rate for the examination overall was 74.9% compared to 75% during the 2015 examination.
Examinees will receive their results only via U.S. mail. Those who do not receive their letters may request duplicate results on or after April 1, 2018. For examinees who passed the examination, post-examination applications are available now on the Forms page. They will need to file the applications or a request for an extension within eighteen months (April 24, 2019). Consistent with past practice, no pass list is posted, and those who failed but had a score close to the pass line had their results automatically reconsidered before results were sent.
Congratulations once again on the successful administration of the 2017 Legal Specialist Examination!
