The Idaho Supreme Court and United States Courts, District of Idaho, will hold a joint Admission Ceremony on Friday, September 27, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. at the Boise Centre East (195 S Capitol Blvd., Boise, Idaho).

CHECK-IN: 3:00 p.m. We ask that all admittees remain in the immediate area following check-in. 

REQUIRED FOR THE IDAHO STATE BAR: In order to be admitted to the Idaho State Bar, you must complete your licensing forms and pay the $125 prorated license fee.

Licensing may be completed online using the New Admittee Online Licensing program or with the paper forms. Licensing forms and fees must be received by September 23, 2024.

REQUIRED FOR THE IDAHO SUPREME COURT: The Idaho Supreme Court charges a $25 fee for your formal admission certificate. Please bring this fee with you to the Admission Ceremony and pay the Court upon check in. The fee may be paid by either a check or money order made out to Idaho Supreme Court in the amount of $25.00, or in cash; but you must bring exactly $25.00, as the Court will not be able to make change. The Supreme Court will not permit payment via credit card at this time.
