  3. Hello,

    I am an advocate of the High Court of Kenya seeking to sit the Pennsylvania Bar exam. I have looked at their website only to discover that I cannot locate any section relating to foreign law graduates. Does the said bar exam allow for foreign lawyers to sit the exam?

    Kindly assist!
