The opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 31st day of March, 2009, the Petition for Review is GRANTED. The parties are directed to brief the following issues:

1) Whether, in the particular circumstances here, Petitioner should be deemed to have substantially complied with Pa.B.A.R. 204; and

2) If not, whether our present Rule 204, which conditions admission for an out-state-attorney on whether that attorney has either taken the bar examination or practiced law for the past five out of seven years in a state that allows Pennsylvania attorneys to be admitted reciprocally, should be reconsidered.

Justice MeCAFFERY dissents.
