Prospective lawyers sat for the July Bar Examination this week.

More than 1,000 prospective lawyers took the July 2013 Ohio Bar Examination Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week at Franklin County Veterans Memorial. Of the two annual bar exams, more attorney hopefuls take the July exam than the exam in February.

The bar exam featured 12 essay questions covering 11 topics, the Multistate Performance Test, and the Multistate Bar Examination.

Results from the exam will be announced on October 25 at 7 a.m., and individuals who pass the exam and meet all other requirements for admission will be sworn in during two special sessions of the Ohio Supreme Court at the historic Ohio Theatre on November 4 at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m.

The bar exam is administered by the Ohio Supreme Court, which regulates the practice of law in Ohio, including the admission of new attorneys, the biennial registration of current attorneys, attorney discipline in cases of misconduct, and the administration of continuing legal education.
