Maryland Carey Law is committed to assisting its graduates in advancing their professional development. The below resources are available to all graduates, and if you need assistance, please email alumni@law.umaryland.edu.
Bar Certificate Forms
Demonstration of character and fitness, sometimes referred to as moral character, is among the essential elements required for bar admission in every jurisdiction. In addition to completing a detailed written application, most applicants undergo rigorous follow-ups including a personal interview or background check.
As part of your Character Questionnaire, Maryland Carey Law will receive a form titled "Certification as to Law School" or a similar document, depending on your jurisdiction. This document verifies your attendance at Maryland Carey Law and asks whether you have exhibited behavior or conduct that raises significant concerns about your character or fitness for admission to practice law.
All Bar Certification forms, including those titled Dean's Certification form, should be emailed to barcertification@law.umaryland.edu. If the jurisdiction's board of law examiners prefers to send the form directly to Maryland Carey Law, it should also be emailed to barcertification@law.umaryland.edu. Note that the Office of Student Services processes these forms in the order they are received. Due to the high volume of requests, there is typically a turnaround time of 1-2 weeks. You will receive an email notification once your request has been processed.
If your form requires you to list a law school contact, please provide the following information:
Name: Mr. Steven Boggs
Title: Director of Registration and Enrollment

Phone number: (410) 706-5235
Make sure to include:
- Your full name
- DOB (mm/dd/yyyy)
- Date of graduation
