Successful completion of the Ohio Law Component (OLC) is required for applicants seeking admission to the practice of law in Ohio by examination and UBE transfer. In order to take the OLC, applicants must use Examplify, Examsoft’s software technology. This program is available for use on Mac and PC computers.
There is no time limit for the OLC. Examplify will save and back up your work every minute. The component is an open book exam, and you will have the ability to access the outline on your device throughout the exam. The outline may also be found here: Ohio Law Component
A passing score is 80% or higher. You will be able to see your score immediately after taking the OLC. It is your responsibility to review your score and contact the Office of Bar Admissions if you do not pass to retake the exam. Within 5 business days, your score will be posted to your Bar Admissions portal.
