(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(5) The certification shall be withdrawn by the student's law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 The certification may be withdrawn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.
