Reinstatement To The Practice Of Law In Georgia
An applicant for reinstatement following administrative suspension from the State Bar (for failing to pay dues for less than five years), or after having voluntarily resigned from the State Bar within five years, should first contact the Membership Department of the State Bar of Georgia at 404-527-8700 to request a reinstatement letter be sent to the Office of Bar Admissions. As soon as that letter is received, the Office of Bar Admissions will contact the applicant with information on how to file an Application for Certification of Fitness pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 of Part A of the Rules Governing Admission to the Practice of Law in Georgia. Applicants whose membership with the State Bar has been terminated (as opposed to those whose membership has been suspended) are not eligible for Reinstatement and must instead apply for Readmission, which includes having to take the bar exam again. Information about Readmission can be found here.
