Rule 14-716. License fees; enrollment fees; oath and admission.

(a) Court enrollment fees and Bar license fee. After notification that the Board has approved the applicant for admission, the applicant must pay to the Bar the applicable Bar license fee for either active or inactive status. The applicant must pay to the Bar the mandatory Supreme Court enrollment fee, regardless of whether the applicant elects active or inactive attorney status. If an applicant elects active status, an applicant must pay to the Bar the enrollment fee of the United States District Court for the District of Utah. The Bar collects and transmits the federal and state court enrollment fees.

(b) Motion for admission and enrollment. Upon satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 14-716(a), the Board will submit motions to the Supreme Court and the United States District Court for the District of Utah for admission certifying that the applicants have satisfied all qualifications and requirements for admission to the Bar. The Board will submit three motions for admission per year: October, February and May. After the motions are submitted and upon approval by the Supreme Court and the United States District Court for the District of Utah and upon taking the required oath, an applicant is eligible to be enrolled into Utah's state and federal courts.

(c) Admission ceremony. There will be two admission ceremonies a year to administer the required oath to be placed on either active or inactive attorney status: May and October.

(d) Oath of attorney and certificate of admission. Every applicant must take an oath. The oath must be administered by the clerk of the Supreme Court, the clerk of a court of the United States, a Utah state judge of district or juvenile court level or higher, a judge of a court of the United States or a judge of a court of general jurisdiction or higher of a state of the United States. In the event of military assignment outside the United States, a military court judge may administer the oath. After administration of the oath, each applicant must sign the roll of attorneys maintained by the clerk of the Supreme Court at which time the applicant receives a certificate of admission to the Bar. If the oath is administered other than at an admission ceremony as provided in this article, the applicant must contact the clerk of the Supreme Court for information on administration of the oath. If the applicant elects active status, he or she must also contact the United State District Court for the District of Utah and sign its roll of attorneys.

(e) Time limit for admission. If an applicant has met all other admission requirements, but fails to pay the prescribed license and enrollment fees or fails to take the oath as required by Rule 14-716(d) within two years after notification of approval by the Board, the approval for admission is automatically withdrawn. Failure to timely satisfy the provision of this rule requires an applicant to recommence the application process including a new application, payment of fees, a character and fitness investigation and retaking of the Bar Examination, if applicable.
