R. Gov. Admi. Miss. Bar. 9
An applicant may request a review of the decision of the Board denying his application for admission to the Bar by filing a written petition with the Bar Admissions Administrator within ten (10) days after applicant has been notified of the adverse action of the Board.
Such review shall be heard at the next regular, adjourned or special meeting of the Board held after the request for review has been filed, at which meeting the applicant may appear personally. The applicant shall be provided with a copy of the Committee's report. The applicant may file a statement, memorandum or other writing with the Board at least ten (10) days prior to the review hearing, setting forth the grounds on which the applicant seeks review and the reasons why the Board's decision should be reversed. At a review hearing, the burden shall be upon the applicant to show that the Board's denial of his application was in error. Review shall be made upon the records previously developed by the Committee on Character and Fitness. At the review hearing, the record may not be supplemented by additional evidence from the applicant or other sources. If the Board finds that further evidence should be considered, it shall remand the application to the Committee for further proceedings. Upon completion of review, the Board shall enter a final order affirming or reversing its previous action. During the pendency of review or appeal proceedings, the applicant shall not take the bar examination pending a final decision on his character and fitness.
