Marin v. Utah State Bar

Marin v. Utah State Bar, 2025 UT 18 (Pohlman, J.)

Practice of Law

The Utah Supreme Court held:

  • Petitioner’s misconduct proceeding belonged in New York state court, and the New York court’s order suspending Petitioner from the practice of law in that jurisdiction is entitled to full faith and credit.
  • Petitioner was not entitled to waiver of rules 14-704(a)(7) and 14-704(a)(8) of the Supreme Court Rules of Professional Practice because he did not show that his case was extraordinary or that the bar admission rules’ purposes would still be met if the rules were waived.
