Who is Eligible to Attend?
An applicant to the Minnesota bar who has been recommended for admission by the Minnesota Board of Law Examiners. You must have received notice from the Minnesota Board of Law Examiners stating that you are eligible to attend one of the monthly ceremonies. The Minnesota Supreme Court is also able to administer oaths for applicants recommended for admission by the Wisconsin Board of Law Examiners. If you have been recommended for admission to the bar in another jurisdiction and would like for the oath to be administered by the Court, please contact the Lawyer Registration Office for additional guidance. If you are requesting that an oath be administered for a jurisdiction other than Minnesota, please make sure that is noted when you register.

New Lawyer Admission Fee and Renewal Dates
The new lawyer admission fee will be $40. You will need to mail this amount to the Lawyer Registration Office with your oath prior to the remote ceremony.  Additional instructions will be provided when you register. Your renewal date will be based on the first letter of your last name as of the date of your admission.
