Program Overview |
Historically, the practice of law has been reserved only for those who have obtained a Juris Doctorate ("J.D.") and who have passed the Bar Exam. However, in addition to attorneys, Utah now issues a limited license to practice law to individuals who have satisfied all the education, experience, and testing requirements set forth in the Rules Governing Licensed Paralegal Practitioners ("Rules"). For all the requirements to become a Licensed Paralegal Practitioner, please see Rule 15-703 of the Utah Rules of Professional Responsibility for LPP's. For more detailed information about becoming a licensed paralegal practitioner visit the Utah State Bar website.
Exams are offered by the Utah State Bar and all requirements must be complete prior to practicing law.
