Please see Board Policy P-6.03 if you previously applied for admission to Tennessee to determine if you need an updated investigation. If you have not previously applied, or your application has expired, or you were missing the Law Degree Verification, Undergraduate Transcript, or foreign-education evaluation report, you can provide the forms or order the transcript/report now and the Board will hold the document until your application is submitted and paid. For more information , please see the Checklist for First-Time and Re-Exam Applications, which can be found in the main menu by clicking the “Forms” link.
