Admission for Experienced Attorneys

***On December 28, 2023, the Idaho Supreme Court entered an Order amending the Idaho Bar Commission Rules governing admission to practice law in Idaho. The amendments are effective March 1, 2024. The amendments eliminate the reciprocity requirement under current Idaho Bar Commission Rule 206 and provide that any attorney from any state who has been substantially engaged in the Active Practice of Law for at least three of the previous five years may be admitted to the practice of law in Idaho without having to take the Idaho bar examination. The amendments further provide that work as a judicial law clerk qualifies as the Active Practice of Law for the purposes of qualifying for admission without examination, provided such work was performed after admission to practice and as a licensed, active member of the jurisdiction in which the work was performed. You can find the Court’s Order HERE.***

Admission Based on Practice Experience – Idaho Bar Commission Rule 206

The application process could take from 60 to 90 days to complete.  The application fee is $1,200.00.  If you have questions about the application process or the admission requirements, please contact Abby Kostecka, Licensing Director, or Tasha Sorrells-Landeros, Admissions Analyst, at (208) 334-4500.
