UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
ATTORNEY ADMISSION INFORMATION
Thank you for your inquiry regarding admission to the bar of the U.S. District Court for the Western
District of Michigan. The following are requisites for an attorney to become a member of the bar of
this district:
1)
Petition for Admission (see attached);
2)
An original certificate of active status and good standing issued within the last 30 days from
the state of the applicant's bar membership; and
3)
$175.00 fee payable to Clerk, U.S. District Court.
Upon receipt of the above, your application will be submitted to the Chief Judge, or his designee,
for review. If the application is granted, your name will be added to the list of attorneys admitted
to practice in this district, and you will receive a certificate of admission. While a petition for
admission will be accepted for filing in any office, the papers are forwarded to our Grand Rapids
office for processing upon receipt. To expedite the process, petitions may be sent directly to Grand
Rapids.
Please be certain that you comply with all of the attorney admission requirements. Failure to comply
with all of the requirements will delay the processing of your petition. Original signatures are
required on all submitted paperwork (copies will not be accepted).
Prior to seeking admission, you must familiarize yourself with the Local Rules which are available
on this website by clicking on “Rules & Opinions,” and “Local Rules of Practice and Procedure.”
If you have any questions, please contact (616) 456-2381.
NOTE: The forms attached may be completed on-line. Click in the first field to be completed,
then tab to the next field and so on. As you complete the petition for admission form on-line,
most of the e-filing registration form will simultaneously complete as well. When you have
completed the forms on-line, print and sign the forms and mail them to the court.
