The Utah State Bar Commission is seeking applicants to serve a two-year term as one of the Bar’s two representatives in the American Bar Association’s (ABA) House of Delegates for a term to run through the August 2026 ABA Annual Meeting. The Bar has one other representative in the House of Delegates, as well as a representative from the Young Lawyers Division. The ABA Members in Utah also have an elected delegate. 

The delegate is expected to attend the ABA’s Midyear and Annual meetings and to participate in appropriate interim meetings and in conference calls as needed. There will also be some preparation work to review issues and communicate with and report to the Bar Commission on a regular basis. The delegate also serves as an ex-officio member of the Bar Commission and would be expected to attend regular Commission Meetings. 

The delegate must be an active member in good standing of the Utah State Bar and a member in good standing of the ABA and meet all eligibility requirements set forth by the ABA.
