Maryland Law Student Admission

Rule 16 of the Rules Governing Admission to the Bar of Maryland allows law students enrolled in an ABA approved law school clinic program to practice on a limited basis in Maryland under a supervising attorney.

A “clinical program” means a law school program for credit where a student obtains experience in the operation of the legal system by engaging in the practice of law. The law student practice must be under the direct supervision of a faculty member, and the Section Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar of the Maryland State Bar Association, Inc. must approve the clinical program.
