Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia vacated the Board of Bar Examiners' denial of Harriet O'Neal's military-spouse waiver petition and remanded for further proceedings. The court held that the governing waiver criteria were unclear and that the Board was required to provide specific written reasons for denying the waiver so that O'Neal and the court could understand and review the decision.
