An applicant who has graduated from a law school that at the time of graduation was approved by the American Bar Association or who is certified by the dean of such law school as being eligible for graduation shall be permitted to take the bar examination. An applicant permitted to take the bar examination pursuant to the above-mentioned "dean's certification" may not be admitted to the bar without first having submitted to the director of Admissions a certificate that the applicant has graduated with a J.D. or LL.B. degree.

An applicant who graduated from a law school not approved by the American Bar Association shall be permitted to take the bar examination only after successfully completing at least 26 semester hours of study in the subjects tested (see Rule 46(b)(8)(iii)) on the bar examination at a law school that at the time of such study was approved by the American Bar Association. All such 26 semester hours shall be earned in courses of study, each of which is substantially concentrated on a single tested subject.
