While this is the first year Texas A&M Law has sponsored a group, plans are already underway to return in 2018. To become eligible for admission to the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States, you must obtain two sponsors that are current members of the bar who know you personally and are not related to you by blood or marriage; you must also be in good standing with the highest court of your state (i.e., Texas Supreme Court); and have been admitted to practice law in the highest court of your state for at least three years.
