Electronic Booklet of Information
The Booklet of Information (BOI) is designed to provide a comprehensive description of the requirements and policies
pertaining to the ABA’s examinations. The ABA recommends that anyone planning to take an ABA examination read the BOI
thoroughly prior to starting an application. All applicants for ABA examinations are asked to acknowledge via electronic
signature that they have read a copy of the applicable BOI.
Beginning in 2009, publication of the BOI will be 100% electronic. The ABA will publish its BOI online
only under the “Publications” section of the ABA web site (www.theABA.org). The ABA BOI will be updated on an annual basis each February.
Please note:
All current ABA fees will be published in a separate online fee table accessible via the ABA website.
To view a list of the current ABA fees, click on the “Examinations and Certifications” link.
The Booklet of Information (BOI) is available in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format.
