The Law Mind

has been amended to streamline the procedure to allow a law student to practice by having the

D. Minn. LR 83.8

supervising attorney, rather than the law school, certify that a law student is eligible to practice under this rule. Before a law student may practice in any matter in this court, the supervising attorney must complete and submit the student-certification form by emailing it to the clerk’s office. The clerk’s office will then stamp the form as having been filed and email it back to the attorney. The supervising attorney must then file the stamped form in each case in which the law student appears.
