I hope that you all had a great (and at least somewhat relaxing) Spring Break. For those of you who will be providing representation on behalf of clients (including government entities) in court or before an administrative tribunal in North Carolina this summer,
you must seek certification from the State Bar. (Although formerly called the "Third-Year Practice Rule," this certification is no longer limited to third-year students.) If you are unsure whether you need to be certified, review
<a href="https://www.ncbar.gov/for-lawyers/governing-rules-of-the-state-bar/0206-activities/" id="LPlnk" title="https://www.ncbar.gov/for-lawyers/governing-rules-of-the-state-bar/0206-activities/">
the activities</a> that certified students may engage in and ask your supervising attorney. Please note that to be eligible, your supervisor must be a licensed attorney in North Carolina and you cannot be on academic probation. The full rules regarding the
certification can be found <a href="https://www.ncbar.gov/for-lawyers/governing-rules-of-the-state-bar/0201-purpose/" title="https://www.ncbar.gov/for-lawyers/governing-rules-of-the-state-bar/0201-purpose/">

To simplify the process, the State Bar has asked the law school to be the intermediary in collecting and verifying the necessary documents. I have attached a one-page review of the certification process along with the required forms to this email. Please see
below for a list of forms you will need to submit based on whether you will be interning or externing (i.e., receiving academic credit). All documents should be submitted to me. I would advise starting this process sooner rather than later, as your request
will be one of many processed across the State. (<u>Note</u>: If you are working at an organization that will host numerous legal interns/externs, they may wish to submit an employer form directly to the State Bar that lists all of their students at once.
That is fine – simply let me know when you provide me with your other form(s).)</div>

Again, I am attaching a copy of the State Bar's rules governing student certification. You will be expected to have read these rules. One such rule that I want to highlight here governs whom you may represent under the certification. If you are working in a
private law firm, you can only serve "eligible persons" as <a href="https://www.ncbar.gov/for-lawyers/governing-rules-of-the-state-bar/0202-definitions/" title="https://www.ncbar.gov/for-lawyers/governing-rules-of-the-state-bar/0202-definitions/">

</a>by the State Bar. This is non-negotiable, as it is a State Bar rule. Please do not jeopardize your reputation (remember your character and fitness application) or the integrity of the school by engaging in unauthorized representation.</div>
