NEVADA, AND LAS VEGAS, NEVADA,

IN RE: ADMISSION OF ZACHARY B.
COUGHLIN TO PRACTICE LAW IN
THE STATE OF NEVADA.
ORDER ADMITTING APPLICANT
TO THE STATE BAR OF NEVADA
On December 18, 2002, this court issued an order deferring
our consideration of Zachary B. Coughlin's application for admission to

practice law until October 1, 2003.

Our order set forth certain

requirements for Mr. Coughlin to meet during the deferral period and
directed the Board of Bar Examiners to file a supplemental report and
recommendation regarding this applicant at the conclusion of the deferral

period. The Board of Bar Examiners, on December 21, 2004, submitted its
supplemental report to the court.

In its report to this court flied October 5, 2001, the Board of

Bar Examiners reported that the Zachary B. Coughlin wrote the 2001 bar
examination, received a total scaled score of not less than 75, and a scaled
score of not less than 75 on each of at least three essay questions; however,

this applicant had not submitted evidence of having complied with the
rules for admission as set forth by this court.

In its Decem bel' 2004

supplemental report, the Board advises that Mr. Coughlin has successfully
completed and fully complied with all of the terms and conditions imposed

by this court throughout the entirety of the deferral period, and that Mr.
Coughlin has now submitted evidence of compliance with the rules of this
court.

The Board therefore recommends that Zachary B. Coughlin be

given favorable consideration by this court for admission to membership in

the State Bar of Nevada and to practice law in the State of Nevada.
Further, the Board recommends that his admission be conditioned on and
subject to the terms and conditions of probation as set forth in the
Recommendation and Consent Agreement relating to his application.

It appears from said report that the applicant recommended

for admission has: (1) attained his majority; (2) demonstrated suitable
moral character; (3) received a degree of juris doctor or bachelor of laws, or
an equivalent law degree, from a law school accredited by the American
Bar Association; or received an education which the Supreme Court has
determined to be functionally equivalent to that received at schools
accredited by the American Bar Association; (4) received a total scaled
score of not less than 75 on the 2001 bar examination, a scaled score of not

less than 75 on each of at least three essay questions, and a scaled score of
not

less

than

85

on

the

Multistate

Professional

Responsibility

Examination; and (5) otherwise complied with the rules for admission set
forth by the Supreme Court of Nevada.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the following applicant be
admitted as an attorney and counselor at law in all the courts of this
State, with all privileges relating thereto, upon complying with the
requirements of the law relative to such admission; however, said

admission shall be conditioned on and subject to the terms and conditions

of probation as set forth in the Recommendation and Consent Agreement

relating to his application:
Zachary B. Coughlin
