The Courts of the Province were first authorized to examine persons
seeking to practice law in 1715 (Acts 1715, chap. 48, sec. 12). The
examination of attorneys remained as a function of the several courts
of the State until 1898, when the Legislature created the State Board
of Law Examiners (Chapter 139, Acts of 1898). The Board is com-
posed of three members appointed by the Judges of the Court of
Appeals. Twice yearly, in the winter and summer, the Board conducts
examinations for admission to the Bar. It also passes upon the peti-
tions of attorneys from other states desiring admission. The Board
passes upon appeals from the findings and recommendations of the
Character Committees of the various circuits. Law students expecting
to practice in Maryland must register their intentions with the Board.
The Court of Appeals formulates the rules governing the Board, but
the Board may prescribe rules for the conduct of examinations, pro-
viding such rules do not conflict with those made by the Court (Code
1957, 1968 Repl. Vol., Art. 10, sees. 2-8).
Appropriations for the Board of Law Examiners are now provided
for in the judiciary budget which is administered by the Administra-
tive Office of the Courts.
