Opinion
THE COURT.
Petitioner seeks review of respondent State Bar order denying petitioner’s request he be exempted from taking and passing the First Year Law Student Examination (FYLSX) as a precondition of eligibility to take the general bar examination.
The general bar examination is administered by respondent Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar (committee) semiannually. With exceptions not here pertinent, only persons who take and pass such an examination are eligible to become members of the bar and thus to engage in the practice of law. (See Bus. & Prof. Code, §§ 6060, 6062.)
