Qualification procedures for
legal interns.
(a) For a legal intern engaged in a clinical program or a law practicum, the supervising lawyer must, before the legal intern is authorized to practice, file at the supreme court the following documents:
(1) a declaration from the supervising lawyer, containing the lawyer’s bar number, business address, telephone number, and email address, acknowledging the duties imposed by this Rule;
(2) a declaration from the legal intern, demonstrating the legal intern fulfills the criteria set forth in Rule 7.2(a) of this Rule; and
(3) a signed oath administered as set forth in Rule 7.9 of this Rule.
Authority to practice under this Rule shall commence the day after the filing date of the last document filed.
There is no case or proceeding generated before the supreme court by filing the documents required under Rule 7.3(a).
(b) The supervising lawyer must inform the client that the legal intern is performing supervised work for the client and obtain the client’s signed, written consent to the legal intern’s supervised work. Exclusively in the case of a government office or agency, or a state or local political subdivision, the consenting “client” would be the relevant attorney general, executive director, chairperson, chief counsel, or prosecuting attorney.
