examination, the applicant’s petition will be deemed invalid <strong>and</strong><br />

the applicant’s examination results will be voided. No fees will<br />

be refunded.<br />

(d) (e) Refunds<br />

If a petitioner withdraws the petition or fails to attend<br />

<strong>and</strong> take the examination, the examination fee will not be refunded<br />

except for good cause shown. The examination fee may not be<br />

applied to a subsequent examination unless the petitioner is<br />

permitted by the Board to defer taking the examination.<br />

Source: This Rule is derived from former Rule 5 a with the<br />

exception of section (d), which is new, except that section (a) is<br />

derived from former Rule 5 (a).<br />

REPORTER’S NOTE<br />

Amendments to Rules 6 <strong>and</strong> 9 of the Rules Governing Admission<br />

to the Bar of Maryl<strong>and</strong> are proposed at the request of the State<br />

Board of Law Examiners.<br />

To allow the Board sufficient time to process a petition to<br />

take an examination, in light of increases in the number of<br />

c<strong>and</strong>idates <strong>and</strong> the number of requests for accommodation under the<br />

Americans With Disabilities Act, the time for filing the petition<br />

is proposed to be changed from 20 days before the scheduled<br />

examination to no later than the preceding May 20 th for the July<br />

examination or the preceding December 20 th for the February<br />

examination.<br />

The existing requirement set forth in Rule 6 (b) that a<br />

certain certification by the petitioner’s law school be included<br />

in the petition is proposed to be deleted. In its place are<br />

proposed new sections (c) <strong>and</strong> (d). New section (c) requires the<br />

petitioner to affirm the petitioner’s eligibility to take the<br />

examination <strong>and</strong> provide a law school transcript to the Board<br />

within a certain time after the examination. New section (d)<br />

voids the examination results of any applicant who is found to<br />

have been ineligible to take the examination.<br />
