If you are a foreign lawyer and are planning to take the Dinei Yisrael Exams in August 2012, the deadline to send in your application is July 13. The cost is 160 NIS per test which you must pay at the Post Office to account number 4454120 and send the receipt in with your application.
I have some very good outlines available.
Make sure you read the Basic Requirements for Admission to the Israel Bar (revised 2013). In general, a foreign lawyer who wants to practice in Israel has to pass the Hebrew proficiency exam and 6 of the 8 substantive Dinei Yisrael exams before beginning the one-year articled clerkship or stage (from the French word "stagiaire"). However, if you arrive with two years of work experience you can begin your stage upon passing the Hebrew proficiency exam and can take the substantive exams later. But in order to take the actual bar exam you must pass all of the Dinei Yisrael exams first.
If you have five years of work experience, you just need to pass all of the Dinei Yisrael Exams and clerkship but you do not need to take the bar exam.

The Hebrew exam is given 4 times throughout the year (Jan, April, Aug, Oct) and the 8 substantive exams are given in January and August. The Israeli Bar Office is the gatekeeper to register for these exams- you must register at least one month ahead of time. There is an English review class given in Yerushalayim. And what appears to be a course in Hebrew for Israelis who are qualified overseas. The Lishka (Bar Office) also offers a course in Tel Aviv for new olim (which appears to be in Hebrew). However, it consists of 42 classes, which looks like overkill to me.
But... in order to begin this process you need to have your degree recognized. To do that, on
After you do that, bring those documents to the Bar Office at 1 Chopin St and open a file. Bring more money.
