Which action requires notice to both the board and state bar within 30 days: license revocation, denial of admission, both, or none?

When a ruling affects whether someone can practice law, the notice must go to both the Board of Bar Examiners and the State Bar within a short time frame. Denial of admission and license revocation are both actions that change a person’s status in the profession: denial blocks entry into practice, while revocation removes already granted authority. Because each body oversees a different part of the process—admissions versus ongoing licensure and discipline—prompt notification to both ensures the records are accurate, due process is protected, and appropriate steps (like appeals or updates to public records) can occur without delay. The 30-day notice requirement is there to keep all parties informed and to coordinate the regulatory response, regardless of whether the action is about admission or about disciplining an admitted attorney.
