IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF SARA T. YOUNG
ORDER
Sara T. Young has petitioned the Court to waive the three-year test requirement for the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) for purposes of Young's application for admission by motion to the State Bar of Montana. By rule, applicants for admission by motion must provide evidence of the requisite score on an MPRE taken "within three years preceding the date of the application for admission." Rule IV.A.3, Rules of Admission.
Young passed the MPRE in 2014 when seeking admission to the practice of law in Michigan and North Dakota. Young was admitted to the State Bar of Michigan and State Bar of North Dakota in 2014 and was admitted to and remained a member in good standing of the State Bar of Alabama since 2016. The petition states that Young has been practicing law "without any ethical or disciplinary issues" since 2014. Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition of Sara T. Young to waive the three-year test requirement for the MPRE for purposes of Young's current application for admission by motion to the State Bar of Montana is GRANTED.
The Clerk shall mail a copy of this order to Petitioner and to the Administrator of the Board of Bar Examiners at the State Bar of Montana. 1
