Repeat takers: Under Article III-1(D) of the CT Bar Examining Committee Regulations, "After four (4) unsuccessful attempts on the Connecticut bar examination, an applicant may file an application only for the February administration of the bar examination." The Committee says this took effect October 27, 2025, and that these applicants may still sit for a July exam in another UBE jurisdiction and transfer a passing score to Connecticut.
