Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

In its sole discretion, the Board of Bar Examiners may recommend to the Supreme Court that an applicant be admitted to the bar on a conditional basis in accordance with these Rules. The recommendation may incorporate such terms, conditions and restrictions and be for such duration as the board determines appropriate. The Supreme Court may accept, reject, or modify the recommendation.

A conditional admission shall be confidential except that the Board of Bar Examiners shall advise the secretary-treasurer of the State Bar and the secretary of the State Bar's Disciplinary Board of such conditional admission, and except as provided in §§ 16-16-15 and 16-19-99. An applicant admitted to the practice of law pursuant to this section is bound by the terms of such conditional admission. Applicants aggrieved by the decision of the Board of Bar Examiners may seek review pursuant to § 16-16-16.
