If you're going to an ABA accredited law school or a California accredited law school in California, you don't have to worry about the First-Year Law Students Examination (FYLSE). If you're not going to an ABA or CA accredited school, welcome to the first hurdle.
The FYLSE is a one-day, seven-hour long exam. Sometimes called the "Baby Bar," the exam is a very light version of the California State Bar Exam. The format of the exam includes four one-hour essays and 100 multiple choice questions. The substantive areas of law covered on the exam include contracts, criminal law and torts. Like the CA bar exam, the FYLSE is adminsitered twice a year. For the FYLSE it's June and October.
How important are FYLSE test results? If you don't pass, you can't start your 2L year.
The next adminsitration of the FYLSE is on October 27, 2009.
