The Missouri Petition for Admission of a Government Attorney is a legal document used to admit an attorney into practice in the state of Missouri. The petition must be filed with the Supreme Court of Missouri to be accepted. There are two types of Missouri Petition for Admission of a Government Attorney: (1) Original Petition for Admission and (2) Petition for Admission of a Government Attorney. The Original Petition for Admission is used by those who have not been admitted to practice in any other jurisdiction. This petition requires the applicant to provide certain information such as their educational background, work experience, and character references. The applicant must also submit an application fee and proof of passing the Missouri Bar Exam. The Petition for Admission of a Government Attorney is used by those who have already been admitted to practice in a different jurisdiction. This petition requires the applicant to provide transcripts from their previous jurisdiction, a copy of their bar card, and proof of good standing in any other jurisdictions in which they have been admitted. The applicant must also submit an application fee. Both types of Missouri Petition for Admission of a Government Attorney must be approved by the Supreme Court of Missouri before the attorney can begin practicing in the state.
