Bill > HB2428

This bill establishes provisions relating to the licensing of attorneys in the state of Missouri. It vests the power to admit and license attorneys exclusively in the Missouri Supreme Court, which will regulate this process through its rules. Additionally, the bill requires the Supreme Court to develop, by January 1, 2026, rules for a new program that allows applicants to be admitted to the Missouri bar through a supervised employment setting, rather than solely through an examination. The implementation date for this new program must be no later than December 31, 2027, as determined by the Supreme Court.
