FAQ
Can you practice law in multiple states? It is possible to become a multi-state lawyer, and best of all, you may not even have to take more than one bar exam. Read on to learn more about how to practice law in multiple states and the benefits it can offer you.
Arizona. Arizona has reciprocity agreements with Indiana, California, Virginia, and Oregon.
Arizona Reciprocity Arizona offers reciprocity on motion to attorneys from the following states: AK, CO, DC, GA, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, ME, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WI, and WY.
If you hold a J.D. degree from an ABA-approved law school and are over 21 years of age, of good moral character, and mentally, emotionally and physically able to practice law, Arizona welcomes you to take the bar exam.
Until s/he is admitted to practice law in Arizona, an out-of-state lawyer is a non-lawyer in Arizona and as such can only engage in conduct permitted by the exemptions to Rule 31 or the multi-jurisdictional practice rules at ER 5.5.
A Letter of Good Standing issued by the State Bar of Arizona attests to a member's status as of the date of issuance. Letters of Good Standing do not include disciplinary history. To request a Letter of Good Standing contact the Resource Center: 602.340.

If you're considering a career in law, but don't want to be necessarily tied down to a specific state, then you do have options. Your first option is to take the bar exam in multiple states, which may be something you'll have to do if the state you're moving to does not have any reciprocal agreements in place.
Attorneys licensed to practice law in another state or jurisdiction may seek full licensure in California or seek to practice law in California under limited circumstances through one of several State Bar special admissions programs.
