Lawyers in North Dakota are being reminded of their obligation to keep their contact information current with the Board of Law Examiners. According to Admission to Practice Rule (1)(C)(2), lawyers must notify the board in writing within 10 days if there is a change of address. Additionally, North Dakota Rule of Court 3.5(e)(3) mandates that all lawyers provide at least one email address to the board.

Fully-licensed lawyers are encouraged to verify the accuracy of their contact details listed in the Lawyers directory. Instructions for updating this information can be found under "Update Contact Information."

Pro hac vice lawyers, who plan to continue appearing in actions during 2025, should ensure their contact information, especially their email addresses, is up-to-date with the Board of Law Examiners. It is noted that there is no online directory available for pro hac vice attorneys.

The board emphasizes the importance of having a current email address for all lawyers due to its relevance for license renewal purposes. Licensed and eligible lawyers, including those currently holding pro hac vice status, will receive an email in mid-November containing a link and instructions on how to renew their licenses through the Submittable platform introduced in 2024. No paper statements will be issued.

For further details regarding the 2025 license renewals, individuals are directed to consult the Board of Law Examiners' 2025 Online License Renewal Reminder.
