A fee, to be fixed by said board, of not more than $20—which is the sum as fixed by the board-shall accompany the application for examination. Any applicant failing to pass the examination may again apply after six months, by showing to the board that he has diligently pursued the study of the law six months prior to the examination. If such second application is within one year after his first examination, he shall not be required to pay an extra fee for the second examination.

After procuring his certificate from the board, the applicant can then, on motion made in open court, be regularly admitted to practice law in Maine, by any justice of the Supreme Judicial Court.

and active practice, for at least three years, may be admitted to practice on motion before the Supreme Judicial Court, upon the production of a certificate of admission to practice in the court of last resort of such state or any Circuit Court of the United States, together with a recommendation from one of the judges of such courts.

Miscellaneous.

No definite times for examinations have been set; the court designating days when necessary. The law provides, however, that at least two sessions shall be held each year for the purpose of examining applicants. Applications should be addressed to J. B. Madigan, Secretary Board of Examiners, Houlton, Me. No person shall be denied license to practice on account of sex.
