                     DECISION AND RECOMMENDATION.


  (a) Decision. Within 20 days after the proceedings are
concluded, unless a greater or shorter period is directed by the
Board chair, the Board will file with the Bar Association written
findings of fact, conclusions of law, and a recommendation. Any
Board member or members may file a written dissent within the same time period.

  (b) Action on Board Recommendation.  The recommendation of the
Character and Fitness Board shall be served upon the Applicant
pursuant to rule 20.5. If the Board recommends admission, the
record, recommendation and all exhibits shall be transmitted to
the Supreme Court for disposition.  If the Board recommends
against admission, the record and recommendation shall be retained
in the office of the Bar Association unless the Applicant requests
that it be submitted to the Supreme Court by filing a Notice of
Appeal with the Board within 15 days of service of the
recommendation of the Character and Fitness Board.  If the
Applicant so requests, the Board will transmit the record,
including the transcript, exhibits, and recommendation to the
Supreme Court for review and disposition.  If the Applicant does
not so request, the bar examination fee shall be refunded to the Applicant.
