Liberian Bar Exam case studies
Liberian Bar Exam · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Liberian Bar Examination is the gateway to admission to the practice of law in the Republic of Liberia. Passing it, together with the other requirements set by the admitting authority, allows a candidate to be sworn in as an attorney and counselor-at-law and to appear before Liberian courts. It is taken principally by graduates of Liberian law schools and by foreign-trained lawyers who must demonstrate command of Liberian law rather than the law of their home jurisdiction. The exam is built around Liberian sources: the Constitution of 1986, the Liberia Codes Revised, rules of court, and controlling decisions of the Supreme Court. The Liberian Bar Exam case studies are 5 cases and about 3,347 words.
