Soreide Law Group reminds Florida Bar Applicants that if they are contacted by the Florida Board of Bar Examiners requesting an investigative or formal bar hearing, every Applicant should ask themselves if they are ready. Soreide Law Group represents Applicants in both investigative and formal hearings before the Florida Board of Bar Examiners.

Every bar hearing requires evidence and testimony which is specific to your fact set. Many of these items can be obtained quickly so it will vary case by case if an earlier hearing before the Florida Board of Bar Examiners is right for you.  The Board will waive the 15 day rule for submitting your evidence in advance if you are within the 15 day window. In this case, you would be able to bring your exhibits with you to the hearing itself. You must bring 5 copies of anything you intend to submit, one copy for each of the Board members, one for the record, and one for you.

If you are not sure if you are ready for your Florida Board of Bar Examiners Hearing on short notice, then you should wait. Only if you are fully prepared and have done all of the work in advance should you rush into an earlier hearing. If you are not sure you could contact an attorney for a consultation.
