Colorado Bar Examination


General Bar Exam Information

Over the next several months the Office of Attorney/LLP Admissions will be updating the website and all related bar exam instructions as we move to a new admissions platform called ILG Admissions Manager. New instructions and application process will go into effect with the July 2026 Colorado exam applicant pool. The substance of the application will not change, but we believe the new platform will be more intuitive for applicants and easier to navigate.
