Official letters regarding passage or failure on the Oregon Bar Examination have been sent to all applicants through their User Homepage at the OSB Admissions Application Portal.
Please note that passage of the Oregon Bar Examination is only one of the requirements necessary for admission to practice law in Oregon. An applicant may not practice law in Oregon until the applicant has taken the Oath of Office and submitted their oath to the State Court Administrator and their oath has been received by the Administrator. An applicant should expect their bar number to be issued within five business days after the State Court Administrator has received their oath.
The first opportunity for February 2026 examinees to submit an Oath of Office will be at the Fall Admission Ceremony, which will take place at 1:30 PM on Thursday, May 21, 2026, in the Smith Auditorium on the main campus of Willamette University Main in Salem, Oregon (across the street from the Law School). You are welcome to bring your family and friends! The ceremony is open to everyone. The State Court Administrator and Oregon State Bar personnel will be at the auditorium to assist you with completing and filing your oath beginning at approximately 11:45 A.M. Representatives from the Professional Liability Fund and Oregon State Bar New Lawyers Division will be available to answer questions and provide information.
A reception for our newest lawyers, sponsored by the Oregon New Lawyers Division of the Oregon State Bar, will immediately take place following the ceremony. The reception will be held in the First Floor Lounge of Willamette University College of Law. Various member groups and affinity bars will attend the reception.
If you cannot attend the admissions ceremony, you may complete the oath online and mail it to the Oregon Supreme Court after the ceremony. Please note the court will NOT accept your oath prior to Thursday, May 21, 2026. The Supreme Court's mailing address is 1163 State St. Salem, OR 97301. The oath form is available here.
Please contact the office of the Board of Bar Examiners with any questions.
