STEP TWO: UTAH STATE BAR APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION FORMS:

UTAH STATE BAR APPLICATION INFORMATION

The following links apply to persons who wish to file an application to take the Utah State Bar Examination using application forms obtained from the Utah State Bar’s web site. These forms are designed for individuals who are computer proficient. The Utah State Bar is unable to provide technical support for converting these documents to your word processing software.

Technical requirements for using the forms:

• The forms are Microsoft Word templates and can be only be accessed using Microsoft Word 97 or later.
• Upon accessing of each form, you will be asked to open the form as “Read Only” or to provide a password. Click on the “Read Only” button. Read Only access will allow you to complete the open fields in the form template and then save your document (including your input) with a name you specify for printing and later retrieval.
• These forms make extensive use of macros to assist in form navigation and reduce the amount of duplicate input required. As a result, Word macros should be enabled to complete these forms and disabled (if desired) when complete. (To enable Macros please consult with the instructions in your version of Word.)
