Attorney Regulation Act Article 14

Where the National Bar Association determines that the local bar association unreasonably withholds the application for admission, it shall directly make a decision to approve the admission, and the applicant will promptly become a member of such local bar association and the National Bar Association.In contrast, where the National Bar Association determines that it is reasonable for the local bar association to dismiss the application for admission, it shall make a decision to uphold the original decision.The National Bar Association shall make a decision about the re-examination of the dismissal of admission by a local bar association and notify the submitting local bar association and the applicant within 30 days from the receipt of such submission.Any failure by the National Bar Association to make such decision within the stated period shall be deemed to make a decision in favor of the applicant's admission.Where any document for such application submitted by the applicant is found lacking and may be supplemented, the National Bar Association shall order the applicant to supplement the application, and the period for such supplement shall not be counted in the review period stated in the preceding paragraph.Where any failure of the National Bar Association to carry out such review is due to any act of God or other force majeure events, the review period referred to in Paragraph 3 hereof shall be suspended automatically until the local bar association resume such review.
