A new member who has actively practiced law for less than 3 years in any jurisdiction prior to admission to the Idaho State Bar must also complete the New Attorney Program within the first year of admission. A newly admitted Idaho attorney's first reporting period begins on the date of admission to the Bar and ends on December 31 of the third full year following admission.
