Are the results of the second semester taken into account in the study of the application file?

The second semester transcripts of the Master’s degree Year 1 are not part of the compulsory documents to be submitted in your electronic application file as they are generally not published at the closing date of the application. However, if you already have them and they are favourable to you, there is nothing to prevent you from adding them as an additional document, or bringing them with you on the day of the interviews.

Is the Master 214 compatible with taking the Bar Exam at the beginning of the year?

The Master 214 does not prevent you from taking the Bar Exam. The Master 2 courses start the week after the Bar exam. The first semester is generally less dense than the second in terms of courses, which offers more freedom to prepare for the oral hearings . In practice, each year many students of the Master take and pass theBar Exam.
