SCR 50.02
Law school certification
(1) A Student engaged in activities permitted by SCR 50.04 shall
obtain written certification from the law school in which the student is
enrolled, or the law school from which the student graduated, on a form
prescribed by the clerk of supreme court.
(2) The student shall obtain the applicable certification form from
the clerk of supreme court, present the certification form to the law school
for its consideration, obtain a completed form from the law school and
carry the form at all times when appearing in court. The law school shall
send a copy of the certification form to the clerk of the supreme court.
(3) The law school shall certify, as applicable, whether the
student:
(a) is regularly enrolled, is in good standing, and has completed
the first-year curriculum for full time students; or
(b) has graduated, and the certification shall specify the date of
graduation.
(4) The certification shall be valid until:
(a) for students who have not yet graduated, the expiration of 24
months after it is issued or until the student has been admitted to practice
before any federal or state court, whichever is earlier. For part-time
students and students regularly enrolled and pursuing one or more
additional degrees, the certification may be renewed at the discretion of
the law school; or
(b) for students who have graduated but have not yet been
admitted to practice before any federal or state court, the expiration of 12
months after the date of graduation.
(5) The certification shall be withdrawn by the student's law
school if the student ceases to be regularly enrolled in law school without
graduating. The law school shall send notice to the supervising attorney
and the clerk of the supreme court. The certification may be withdrawn
if the supervising attorney notifies the clerk of the supreme court that
supervision of the student will cease. The clerk shall send notice to
the student and the student's law school. The student's law school may,
upon notice to the clerk, issue a modified certification reflecting the
substitution of a new supervising attorney.
(6) The certification may be canceled by the supreme court at any
time, without hearing and without any showing of cause.
