As amended through October 9, 2024
Rule 64 - Recommendation to Supreme Court for Denial of Admission for Failure to Meet Requirements of Rule 511. Where the board of bar examiners recommends to the supreme court that an applicant be denied admission with or without prejudice to the bar for failure to meet the requirements of S.C.R. 51(2), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), or (9), the grounds for the recommendation and the conditions, if any, to be imposed on denials without prejudice, shall be stated in writing and shall be promptly filed with the clerk of the supreme court, together with proof of service of the recommendation upon the applicant. 2. Any applicant so notified may, within a period of 30 days from service of the notice, file a verified petition for review with the supreme court, which shall be accompanied by proof of service of a copy thereof upon the admissions director and chairman of the board of bar examiners. Service by mail is complete upon mailing. Such petition shall contain any relevant documentation necessary for the court's understanding of the matter, a statement of facts supported by adequate citation to any record, and legal points and authorities setting forth the legal basis for each ground upon which the board's recommendation is alleged to be erroneous. If the court is of the opinion that the board's recommendation should not be disturbed, it may deny the petition. Otherwise, the court may enter an order fixing time within which an answer may be filed by the board of bar examiners. Should the court determine that the petitioner is entitled to relief, it may direct the board of bar examiners to take such action as is deemed warranted under the circumstances. 3. In any proceeding before the board of bar examiners, or before the supreme court, the applicant shall have the burden of proving that the applicant meets the qualifications required for admission to practice in this state. Should an applicant fail to meet this burden of proof, the court shall refuse to disturb the adverse recommendation of the board of bar examiners. As amended; effective 12/1/1994.
