Standardized Test of Attorney Acceptability and Responsibility

If you’re here, you’re most likely attempting to learn more about attorneys, or even trying to become one yourself!

As stated The East Pacific Attorney Office - The East Pacific - Tapatalk, to be an attorney, you need to do three things:

Be a Citizen
Make sure you are not an Arbiter nor Delegate
Pass the Standardized Test of Attorney Acceptability and Responsibility (STAAR)

Should you meet requirements #1 and #2, requirement #3 will be addressed within the next post.

Good luck!

The Test

— Begin quote from ____

The Standardized Test of Attorney Acceptability and Responsibility is a serious exam testing you on your ability to reference East Pacifican law.
You will be answering a 19-question test. There is no time-limit that the test needs to be completed in.
As a hint, many test answers can be found in the Laws of the East Pacific - The East Pacific - Tapatalk
as well as The East Pacific - Tapatalk - Login.
After you have filled out the test, direct message the Viceroy on Discord with your results (contact: NuclearGandhi#9538). The Viceroy will respond to you within a week with your exam grade.
Should you score a 75% or higher, you will have considered to have “passed” the exam, and be a certified East Pacific Attorney.
Contact the Current Viceroy for your next steps.
Should a certified Attorney resign from their position, and later reapply, they need to retake this exam.
