First-Year Law Student’s Exam (FYLSE)

Pursuant to Rule VIII, Examinations, Section 1, of the California State Bar Rules Regulating Admission to Practice Law in California, entitled First-Year Law Student’s Examination (FYLSE), all students who register in a school of law which is unaccredited by the California Committee of Bar Examiners, as of January 1, 1997, must pass the FYLSE within three (3) administrations of the exam (after establishing eligibility), in order to receive credit for all law studies completed during and subsequent to the first year. It is therefore MANDATORY to pass the FYLSE in order to sit for the California Bar Exam to become a licensed attorney in the State of California. It is accordingly strongly advised that students not enroll in the required second year law schools classes unless and until they pass the FYLSE. The Aristotle University Institute of Law and Jurisprudence does reserve the right to permit students who have not passed the FYLSE to continue their law studies, either through enrolling in required or elective courses.
