Admission for Experienced Attorneys

The Idaho State Bar uses an online application form that enables you to apply to take the Idaho Bar Exam, to transfer your Uniform Bar Examination (“UBE”) score to Idaho, as an Experienced Attorney Applicant (i.e., admission without examination based on practice experience), or for an Idaho House Counsel license.

We recommend that you draft and save your responses to the online application questions in another program, such as Microsoft Word, then copy and paste that information into the online application form. This process will ensure that your work has been saved in the event of a problem with the submission of your online application.

We also recommend that you do not keep a draft application saved for more than 7 days. In order to avoid any technical problems with your submission, it is best to open the online application, complete it and submit it within 7 days.

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 Tasha Sorrells-Landeros, Admissions Administrator, at (208) 334-4500.
