  1. The Justices of the Supreme Court shall be authorized to make and adopt rules as to the making of application to take an examination and as to the time, manner, and places of holding examinations for admission to the bar of this state and are specifically authorized to provide for the holding of the examinations under the supervision of the Board of Bar Examiners at not more than three cities, under such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by them. They may provide for the examination to be held over such period of days as in their judgment shall be fair to the applicant for examination. There shall be held not less than two examinations during each calendar year, the date or dates of which shall be fixed by the Justices of the Supreme Court.

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Classifying applicants as either passing or failing the state bar examination is rational and furthers a legitimate state goal. Pace v. Smith, 248 Ga. 728, 286 S.E.2d 18 (1982).
