I’m applying to transfer my UBE score to Illinois. I need to submit three attorneys as professional references for each jurisdiction I’m admitted in. The instructions say that they need to be people other than the “employers, former employers, and character references listed elsewhere in your application for admission.” Does anyone know if I’m allowed to list attorneys from my former firm who I worked with here? I wasn’t sure if that’s what “former employers” means in this context.

I didn’t transfer to IL specifically but had this same instruction when transferring my UBE. I put former attorneys I worked for with the note they acted as mentors and also noted I was happy to provide additional references if this was not sufficient.

Reaching out to the state bar admissions committee can also help you answer your question too.

It can be folks at your last firm. - just can’t be one of the same people who is submitting a character reference or the references you listed a a contact for your current and past jobs

Did not get an offer from Morgan Lewis last week. I went to a seminar today where the partner I interviews was speaking (he is the main partner of the group and he has like a 5 person team).

Not sure how I feel about the situation haha
