Was I automatically admitted to the Court's Bar if I attended the annual spring or fall joint admission ceremony for the Utah Supreme Court and the U.S. District Court?

Answer: 

It depends on whether you became an active member of the Utah State Bar. Only attorneys who become active members of the Utah State Bar at the time they are admitted and who pay the $181.00 federal court bar admission fee are named in the Utah State Bar's motion for admission to both courts and administered the oath of admission for this Court's Bar at the joint admission ceremonies. If you paid the inactive fees to the Utah State Bar at the time of the joint admission ceremony, you were not admitted to the Bar of the U.S. District Court. Once you become an active member of the Utah State Bar, you may apply to become a member of this Court's Bar by following the Court's attorney admissions procedures.
