Any law fags here? I recently heard someone say that no state requires a person to pass the barr. That it's a whole different thing, it's own thing and it's unconstitutional. Would love to hear from someone in that field.
I can't think of a state that doesn't require you to pass a bar exam. You can't practice until you pass even if you have graduated from law school.
Some states have reciprocity with other states, so, for example, if you are licensed in Illinois you will have passed your Illinois bar exam sometime after law school hopefully on the first try. If you have been practicing for awhile, you can then apply for reciprocity with states that allow it. Every state will have its own rules on that, but for example, if an Illinois licensed lawyer wants to practice in New York which does have reciprocity with other states, the NY state licensing people will review your record and you sit for an interview. It's sort of a shoo in if you have a good reputation. With reciprocity you will not have to sit for the NY state bar exam. Some states don't care how long you've been practicing, you have to pass their bar if you want to practice law in their state. Arizona used to have a really hard bar exam and they really frowned on out of staters getting licensed, at least back when a lot of people were coming from CA. Don't know if that's still the case.
Thanks for the comment / info.

Interesting thanks for this. I can't read the whole article do you know if you have ot have graduated from an accredited law school?
I found in the article that if someone works as a law clerk, like for a judge or attorney, and without needing to attend law school, such a clerk after 500 hours and achieving certain “benchmarks” and also learning certain educational materials, such clerk then can become licensed.
Wisconsin allows graduates of their in-state university law school to practice law without the requirement to pass a bar exam. “Diploma privilege.”

Oregon, starting in May ‘24 will provide an alternative method to allow law grads to practice: a 675 hour supervised work experience. https://www.legal.io/articles/5450956/No-Bar-Exam-Required-to-Practice-Law-in-Oregon-Starting-Next-Year#:~:text=Starting%20in%20May%202024%2C%20law,further%20innovation%20in%20other%20states.
According to this site, it was a way to flood the legal system with incompetent DEI hires, which almost every anon opposed the removal of bar requirement at first.
