Reciprocity
Connecticut permits admission on motion, without examination, for applicants who have practiced for five of the preceding ten years, are admitted to practice in at least one reciprocal jurisdiction, and have graduated from an ABA-approved law school. As of September 5, 2016, an applicant who sat for the UBE in another jurisdiction may transfer the score earned on that examination to Connecticut in lieu of taking the UBE in Connecticut. An applicant has three years from the date of an exam to transfer the UBE score to Connecticut.
Connecticut will accept MBE scores from other jurisdictions and from prior administrations of the examination, if the applicant was successful on each examination for which the score was originally achieved. An applicant who elects to transfer an MBE score to Connecticut from a concurrent or prior administration of the exam may do so for purposes of local admission to the Connecticut bar. In order to attain a UBE score, an applicant must sit for the MPT, MEE and MBE in Connecticut during the same administration of the exam. -
Other Requirements
CO does not accept MBE transfer scores.
