"This Veterans Day, as we honor those who have served and are currently serving our nation, I'm pleased on behalf of the Supreme Court to announce updates to the provisional admission rules that will offer greater certainty to spouses of active-duty military service members and save them considerable time and money as they continue their legal careers," Chief Justice Michael P.

In honor of Veterans Day, which is Saturday, the Georgia Supreme Court is making it easier for military spouses who already are licensed to practice law in another state to do so in Georgia.

The court has issued revised rules regarding provisional admission to the practice of law, including for the first time a process for military spouses who already are licensed to practice law in a state outside of Georgia.
