1) First question, it depends on if your school is recognized by the Council of the North Carolina State Bar. A list of the approved law schools is available in the office of the Secretary.
The official rule is:
Quote:

Every applicant applying for admission to practice law in the State of North Carolina, before being granted a license to practice law, shall prove to the satisfaction of the Board that said applicant has graduated from a law school approved by the Council of The North Carolina State Bar or that said applicant will graduate within thirty (30) days after the date of the written bar examination from a law school approved by the Council of the North Carolina State Bar. There shall be filed with the Secretary a certificate of the dean, or other proper official of said law school, certifying the date of the applicant's graduation. A list of the approved law schools is available in the office of the Secretary.

Now, most foreign attorneys don't do the NC bar simply b/c it is too hard to find a job for foreign attorneys in NC. i don't know your situation, maybe you already have a job. Otherwise, you should still get a NY bar/CA bar if you are a foreign attorney.
2) Second, this coming up Feb 2008 exam will be at N.C. State Fairgrounds
Exposition Center and
JS Dorton Arena
