The Pennsylvania Petition For Admission to Practice is an application to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court for permission to practice law in the state. This petition is typically submitted by a law school graduate who has passed the bar exam and is seeking to become an active member of the Pennsylvania bar. There are four types of Pennsylvania Petition For Admission to Practice including the Initial Petition, Reinstatement Petition, Petition for Admission by Motion, and the Unauthorized Practice of Law Petition. The Initial Petition is the most common and is used by individuals who have passed the bar exam and have never been admitted to the bar before. The Reinstatement Petition is submitted by individuals who have previously been admitted to the bar in Pennsylvania but have been inactive for a period of time. The Petition for Admission by Motion is submitted by individuals who are already licensed to practice law in another jurisdiction and are seeking admission in Pennsylvania. The Unauthorized Practice of Law Petition is typically submitted by individuals who are practicing law without a license.
