New attorneys should consult the Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct and other Rules of the Supreme Court for other obligations of practice. The Minnesota State Bar Association is a voluntary professional organization providing lawyers with valuable opportunities for CLE, pro bono service and professional development. Membership in the bar association does not occur upon payment of the attorney registration fee. While a Minnesota license and registration qualifies an attorney to practice in all the state courts of Minnesota, further steps must be taken to practice before the federal courts in Minnesota. The admission requirements are found in the rules for each of the courts.
Admission is administered by the clerks of the federal courts.
Inquiries and requests for application material should be directed to those courts.
