The Utah Supreme Court hears tough cases and usually has to pick winners and losers, but a new proposed rule presents the court with a win-win-win situation. The Utah Supreme Court can honor our nation’s military, help military families stay together and improve access to justice in Utah.

The idea is to allow lawyers who are licensed in another state to practice in Utah while their spouses are stationed at a military base in the Beehive State.
