The Tennessee Supreme Court today ruled in favor of Maximiliano Gabriel Gluzman, the Argentine lawyer who was denied the opportunity to sit for the Tennessee Bar Exam, the Nashville Post reports. Gluzman was a Vanderbilt LL.M. graduate who was allowed to take the New York bar, but the Tennessee Board of Law Examiners found his Argentine education was not “substantially equivalent” to an American education and denied his request. Vanderbilt and the University of Tennessee filed briefs in support of Gluzman, and the schools proposed changes to the bar eligibility rules, which the Supreme Court is considering.
