Authority: IC 4-15-2.2-19

Affected: IC 4-15-2.2

Sec. 8.

(a) The appointing authority may underfill a position. An underfilling employee must be qualified for the class they are appointed to, which shall be in the same job category as the vacant position.

(b) A position allocated to a classification requiring admission to practice law in Indiana may be underfilled by a:

(1) student actively enrolled in an American Bar Association approved law school; or

(2) person whose application for admission is pending.

However, an employee underfilling the position must be admitted to the legal profession as a prerequisite to being appointed to the classification requiring admission to practice law in Indiana. Engaging in the practice of law, before admission to the bar of the Indiana supreme court, is prohibited.
