36 Applicants to Take NC Social Security Specialization Exam

The NC State Bar is the first in the nation to offer an examination process by which attorneys may become board certified specialists in Social Security Disability Law. (Tennessee accepts the certification of the National Board of Trial Advocacy which has just started offering a similar certification on a national basis -- a certification that most state bars do not accept.) The deadline to apply to take the NC exam was June 30. Thirty-six NC attorneys have applied to take the exam this year. This high degree of interest is likely to spur other states to offer this specialty.
