(3) any non-profit organization the purpose of which is to assist low or moderate income persons. To be admitted to practice in Georgia, the Georgia Office of Bar Admissions must receive three certifications, pursuant to Rule 94: (1) the Dean must certify that the student satisfies the requirements of the rule. (2) The student must certify that the student has read and will comply with the Georgia Rules of Professional responsibility. (3) the student must take an oath in a form prescribed by the rule and submit written documentation thereof. Any student engaging in student practice should read the full text of the Supreme Court rules. Under the rule, the Dean has the discretion not to certify a student for any of the reasons listed in Rule 94. Students with questions about the certification process should contact the Law School Registrar. Students who plan to enroll in one of the clinics or externships may contact the faculty member who teaches that course for more information about student practice and certification. For first-year students seeking certification for summer work outside of a clinic or externship course (including rising 2Ls pursuing summer work), the Law School will consider certification only for the following: â—?
students who have successfully completed The Law and Ethics of Lawyering, JURI 4300, as an elective during the spring semester of the first year. These students may seek certification for practice after completing the course and before the start of their summer work.
â—?
students who have successfully completed The Law and Ethics of Lawyering, JURI 4300, during the summer following their first year. These students may seek certification only after completion of the course in early July.
The Associate Dean for Clinical Programs and Experiential Learning will review each such request for certification for compliance with relevant requirements of the Student Practice Rules, including those related to supervision. The federal student practice rules are similar, but not identical, to the Georgia student practice rules. The clinical professor or supervising attorney in a federal practice setting will advise students as to certification under the appropriate federal rule.
