There were seven lawyers with active licenses to practice in Garfield County as of May, according to the Utah State Bar.

This is unchanged from the month before.

Within the county, Boulder registered the most lawyers with active licenses (5).

In 2022, the American Bar Association reported Utah having the highest bar passage rate for first-time takers in the country at 89%, exceeding the national average of 72%.
