To Become a Member of the State Bar of Michigan
After being sworn in to one of the circuit courts or the Supreme Court of Michigan, you will need to complete a membership application to join the State Bar of Michigan and pay your membership dues.
Do not create an account online until you have been sworn in. To complete the State Bar of Michigan new member application online and pay your member dues with a Visa or MasterCard credit or debit card, please visit the Bar's Member Area and create an account. Click on "Prospective New Attorneys, New Law Student Section Members, & Non-Members" and continue with the membership application if you have already been sworn in.
If you wish to complete the paper application and pay your member dues with a check, you may download a new member application form.
After completing the new member application form and payment of the required dues, a true or certified copy of the Order of Admission certified by the County Clerk will need to be provided to the State Bar of Michigan. Some courts provide the Order of Admission directly to the State Bar. If you wish, you may mail your true or certified copy of the Order of Admission signed by the County Clerk to the State Bar of Michigan, Attention Dues, 306 Townsend St., Lansing, MI 48933.
As soon as the State Bar of Michigan has issued you a P number, you will be a member in good standing and eligible to practice law.
Local bar associations are scheduling their admissions ceremonies. We will post information on those ceremonies as soon as we receive it from the local bars.
As of press time, there was no listing for Muskegon County, but there will be a ceremony in Grand Rapids (Kent County):
Grand Rapids Bar Association - Admission to the federal court is coordinated with this ceremony. May 19; 3:30 p.m. at Grand Valley State Univ. Eberhard Center, 301 W Fulton St, Rm 215, Grand Rapids. Registration required, no walk-ins allowed
