Holding.

Regulations - Scope - Fee

-Time and Place of

Examinations are held the first day of each regular term of the court at Boise, Lewiston, and Cœur d'Alene; time being fixed by the court. The candidate shall in open court prepare written answers to the list of questions propounded by the Supreme Court.

A fee of $25 shall be paid to the State Treasurer, receipt for which payment must be presented to the clerk of the Supreme Court before a license will be issued. A fee of $2 shall be paid to the clerk for the license.

Admission of Attorneys from Other Jurisdictions.

One who has been admitted in the highest court of another state or territory may be admitted in the Supreme Court of this state upon filing with the clerk a certificate from such court, together with an affidavit showing that he is still in good standing. In case he cannot produce his certificate proof of the facts may be shown by his affidavit or the affidavit of the clerk of such other court. The examination may be dispensed with (but not his personal appearance in open court) in case of any person who has been actually engaged in the practice of law as a principal occupation under license or certificate from the highest court of another state or territory for not less than three years immediately preceding, and who is in good standing as such. The law requires the court to sat

isfy itself, by questioning the applicant under oath and by such other means as it may adopt, that he has been engaged in actual practice as above stated.

Law Students of State University.

No student of the Law Department of the University of Idaho is permitted to take the bar examination during his regular course of instruction in that institution; provided, further, that in lieu of the certificates of two attorneys touching his qualifications in point of learning, an applicant who is a graduate of the Law Department of the University of Idaho may submit his diploma as evidence that he possesses the requisite educational qualifications entitling him to take the examination.

Rev. Codes 1908, §§ 3990-3994, as amended by Acts 1909, p. 109, and Acts 1911, p. 338; Sup. Ct. Rules in effect Aug. 8, 1915 (153 Pac. vii).

IDAHO DECISIONS

1866 to 1917.

A complete set of Idaho Reports (down to 1917) consists of 28 vols. The Pacific Reporter, 160 vols., contains all Idaho decisions from and including vol. 2 (1881), and all decisions for the last 34 years of Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Owing to the limited quantity of local precedents, it is necessary to go to other states for caselaw authorities, and the Pacific is usually regarded as indispensable.

The Idaho Code was adapted from that of California, and the decisions of that state are therefore followed closely by the

Idaho courts. The Pacific Reporter contains nearly 75 per cent. of all the decisions as reported in the California Reports and, in addition, upward of 1,800 decisions omitted from the State Reports. The tables of cross-citations furnished with the Pacific make it a simple natter to find cases, even if cited to the State Reports only. Write for prices and full information.
