The State Bar of Michigan welcomes qualified applicants who are
entering the practice of law in this state. All attorneys who practice law
in Michigan are required to be members of the State Bar.
All new member applications paid online
will be considered pending and are not complete until your original,
true, or certified copy of the Order of Admission is received. An
applicant admitted by Special Certificate or as a Special Legal Consultant
must submit the Certification from the Board of Law Examiners. State
law provides that you are not authorized to practice law until you receive
official notification from the State Bar of Michigan and receive your P number.
If you were admitted
in August or September of the current fiscal year and do not intend to
practice law immediately, please do not enter your application at this time
but return to this site on October 1. If you continue and process your application
at this time, you will be billed again for the upcoming fiscal year beginning
October 1.
A complete address is required for your record.
