United States Supreme Court
Admissions Program
Dear NYSBA Member:
The Young Lawyers Section is proud to once again sponsor a group admissions program to the United States Supreme Court. You do not need to be a member of the Young Lawyers Section to participate.
Ceremonies for admission to the United States Supreme Court are scheduled for Monday, June 15, 2015. Our last Supreme Court admissions program was well-received and filled up very quickly. Please note that this program is strictly limited to 15 applicants.
If you are interested in participating in this exciting event, please return the pre-registration form with appropriate fee(s) no later than Friday, December 22, 2014 . We will then forward to you, in January, the appropriate paperwork with instructions for processing your admission application and application fee of $200.
Please note: To qualify for admission to the bar of the United States Supreme Court, you must have been admitted to practice in the highest court of a State, Commonwealth, Territory, Possession or the District of Columbia since at least June 14, 2012.
For interested applicants, we suggest that you immediately obtain an original Certificate of Good Standing from the Appellate Division where you were admitted. You must obtain an original which cannot be more than one-year old.
The limit of 15 applicants, for the Supreme Court Admissions Program, will be based upon the first 15 completed applications and application fees ($200 Supreme Court Application fee), and not upon the receipt of your pre-registration form. Please note: Do not send in the $200 now.
While you do not have to be a member of the Young Lawyers Section to participate, preference will be given to Young Lawyer Section members, followed by the order in which your application is received. Again, we are limited to a total of 15 applicants. If you are not a member of the Young Lawyers Section, and would like to become one, please contact Tiffany Bardwell at tbardwell@nysba.org or 518.487.5675. In the event that you have pre-registered, but are not timely in forwarding the properly completed application, your registration fee will be refunded prior to May 8, 2015.
Please mark your calendar with the important deadline dates listed below. To view the program brochure and pre-registration form, click here.
