If you do not pay the licensing fee you will be suspended for non-payment. Inactive Emeritus - A lawyer who has been a member of the Bar for 50 years or is 75 years old as of July 1 of the current year and who wishes to be on Inactive Status is not required to pay a licensing fee, the client security fund assessment or meet continuing legal education requirements. I'm moving outside of the state. This will ensure delivery of important mailings such as your annual dues statement and your continuing legal education mailings. Determine whether inactive or active status is best for you.
Many members retain active status to keep their option of practicing in Utah available.
This is done by paying the standard active fees each year and complying with the CLE requirements. I'm thinking about giving up my Bar license. This requires filling out a petition that can be provided to you by the State Bar. This would allow you to relinquish your Bar license without the suspension that would occur if you simply chose not to pay your mandatory fees. The Supreme Court must approve all petitions from members.
