I Want to relocate to Utah but I’m not currently licensed there. I’m thinking about getting admitted to the Utah bar now (through reciprocity) to make getting a new job there easier. My question is, would my current employer find out or get notified somehow if I was admitted to another state bar? I don’t want to raise any suspicion or tip my current employer off that I might be leaving in the near future.

Utah may ask your employer (and past employers) to submit an affidavit certifying that you haven’t been disciplined for malpractice (NY required that of me when I applied via reciprocity). Check out the Utah application process to see what they require.

Very possible they verify past and current employment for character piece. I’d look it up.

If you can get admitted through reciprocity, I’m not sure there is a huge advantage to getting licensed before relocating. I guess it would show you are committed to moving. However, I think everyone is right that it would be hard to hide from current employer. I would just say on your resume and/or CV that you qualify for reciprocity.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.
