Rules Governing the Utah State Bar and Rules of Professional Practice – Effective May 1, 2025
Rule 3.3. Candor toward the tribunal. AMEND. The amendments align the rule and intent with the model rule as was originally done. Utah restructured this rule by renumbering paragraphs from the model rule. In doing so, the model language (now in subsection (d)) included that “the duties stated in paragraphs (a) and (b)” required disclosure but omitted the new paragraph (c). The language of Utah paragraph (c) is found in model rule paragraph (b). The comments were also amended to reflect correct citations. The Court has also removed the language “or is reckless with respect to its truth” from Comment 1. The Court approves this rule as final with an effective date of May 1, 2025, while simultaneously publishing it for public comment pursuant to CJA Rule 11-105.
USB14-806. Admission pro hac vice. AMEND. The proposed amendment for pro hac vice admission would remove the requirement that a Utah Bar member be a Utah resident and have a law office in Utah.
