The Florida Supreme Court amended the Integration Rule to clarify requirements for law students to continue practicing after completing the law school practice program or graduation, extending the practice program to legal aid organizations and establishing specific conditions for certification.
The Court amended Section VIII(A) of Article XVIII of the Integration Rule to specify that law students who complete the program or graduate from an ABA-approved law school may continue practicing if an attorney general, state attorney, public defender, or supervising attorney of an approved legal aid organization files certification, with a maximum certification period of twelve months from graduation for those not in the law school program.

PER CURIAM.
On April 30, 1975, we approved an amendment to Section VIII of Article XVIII of the Integration Rule extending the law school practice program to approved Legal Aid organizations. In order to clarify confusion that has resulted regarding the requirements for continuation of the practice program after completion of the law school program or graduation, Section VIII (A) of Article XVIII, Integration Rule, is amended as follows:
“VIII. Continuation of Practice Program After Completion of the Law School Program or Graduation.
A. A law student who has completed the law school practice program and (1) has had whoso certification has bees withdrawn by the law school dean by reason of completion of the program or (2) has graduated 'from a law school approved fey •the Americas Sap Association; following successful completion of the program, may appear in Court pursuant to this rule if the attorney general, a state attorney, a public defender or a supervising attorney of a legal aid organization approved by the Supreme Court:
1. Files a certification in the same manner and subject to the same limitations as that required to be filed by the law school dean. This certification may be withdrawn in the same manner as provided for the law school dean’s withdrawal of his certification.
