I'm a lawyer. Am I eligible to become a certified specialist?
Are you licensed with the State Bar of California? Have you practiced in your specialty area for at least 25 percent of the time for each of the last three years? If the answer is yes to each question, then you are ready to begin the process. Once open, you can register for the exam, which will be held in October 2019 for all specialties. Please visit the information on Becoming a Certified Specialist and the specific requirements for each specialty area.
