Attorney Admission Application

ATTORNEY ADMISSION APPLICATION. This form is used in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland by attorneys seeking admission to practice before the court. This form collects detailed information about the applicant’s professional background, including personal and contact information, disciplinary history, criminal history, and court admissions. It also includes a section on the applicant’s willingness and availability to accept court appointments for pro bono representation in civil matters, a responsibility expected of admitted attorneys unless precluded by government employment. Applicants must certify under penalty of perjury that they are in good standing in all jurisdictions where they are admitted, and that they are familiar with relevant rules and procedures governing federal practice in Maryland. The application process also requires a Sponsor’s Motion for Admission, in which a current member of the court's bar attests to the applicant’s qualifications, character, and readiness to practice in the court. If the sponsor has known the applicant for less than one year, a resume and references must be submitted, along with a potential judicial waiver. The form includes an Authorization and Release, which allows the court to conduct background checks and verify the information provided with state bars and disciplinary agencies. www.FormsWorkflow.com
