Dear Ms. Marion,
We are pleased to advise that you have passed the July 2011 Illinois bar examination.

Our records reflect that you have satisfied all of the requirements for admission to the bar of Illinois pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 704 and will be certified to the Illinois Supreme Court as eligible to take the oath of admission.

For information regarding the transfer of your Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) score to another jurisdiction, please visit the website of the National Conference of Bar Examiners at www.ncbex.org. For information and to download the transfer form, click the MBE Scores link under the homepage heading labeled Multistate Test Services.

Pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 704f, a passing score on the Illinois bar examination is valid for 4 years from the last date of the examination passed. An applicant for admission on examination who is not admitted to practice within 4 years must repeat and pass the examination after filing the requisite character and fitness registration and bar examination applications and paying the fees in accordance with Rule 706.

The Supreme Court has fixed Thursday, November 10, 2011, as the date of the admission ceremonies. All certified candidates for admission to the bar must appear in open court to take the attorney's oath and receive their licenses. November 10 is the earliest date on which certified candidates may do so. Notices and instructions that include the location and time of your assigned ceremony will be mailed by the Office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court.

Very truly yours,
Illinois Board of Admissions to the Bar
