Michael S. Eldredge, a current student in the Master of Arts in History program, recently published a historical article in the Utah Bar Journal entitled “The Utah Territorial Bar Association: Our Forgotten Heritage.”
The thesis of the paper centers on the seal of the Utah Bar Association that reads “Organized 1931,” the year that the Utah State Bar integrated. Eldredge argues that Utah should follow the lead of the Wisconsin Bar Association and use the year the territorial bar association was first organized in Utah, 1894. Wisconsin credits the date of organization as 1878, even though the bar was not integrated until the 1950s.
Integration occurs when a bar association ceases as a voluntary organization and becomes mandatory for all lawyers in the state to become members in order to practice law in that state. In short, the bar association becomes the official organization that governs the practice of law in that jurisdiction.
