The results are typically released 9-10 weeks after the exam.
Can I transfer my MBE scores from another jurisdiction?
Georgia does not accept MBE scores from other jurisdictions.
What about reciprocity across states?
In order to be eligible for admission without taking the Georgia Bar Exam, the applicant must be a member of a reciprocating state bar and have engaged in the active practice of law for 5 of the 7 years immediately preceding the application. The applicant must also meet education requirements.
