FAQ
If you are a law graduate registered to practice in your country and have a good standing with your Bar Association, you are eligible for the California Bar Exam. California's open policy warmly welcomes foreign law graduates and lawyers, without imposing restrictions based on nationality or residence.
The directory maintained by the state bar or its disciplinary board is sometimes called the "Roster of Attorneys" or the "Roll of Attorneys." Six (6) states do not publish a searchable database online. In those jurisdictions, you must call or email the state bar to confirm a lawyer's bar license status or bar number.
California was one of the first states to unify its bar (1927). A unified, or integrated bar, means simply that membership is mandatory for all attorneys who are licensed to practice law in the state.
Contact Center To speak with a representative, please call 800-843-9053 if you are in California. If you are calling from out-of-state, please call 415-538-2000.
If you have been fully admitted to the practice of law in any U.S. or foreign jurisdiction, you are qualified to take the California Bar Examination without additional legal education.
Some states allow foreign lawyers to apply for bar admission based on years of law practice and/or a qualifying foreign law degree (typically involving legal education in English common law). However, most states require foreign lawyers to obtain an LL. M. degree (or equivalent) from an ABA-accredited law school.
This involves passing a state bar exam, with states like New York and California being more flexible for foreign-trained lawyers. Indian lawyers need to complete an LLM from an ABA-accredited law school to qualify. Additionally, they must secure a work visa, such as an H-1B, and find sponsorship from a U.S. employer.
The State Bar of California permits you to appear for its bar exam even if you have completed your studies from India provided you have a right to practice law in India.
If you do not remember your bar number, please use the State Bar's attorney search feature to locate bar number. Search for your name to view your public profile which will include your bar number. Note: Your public profile will also state your admit date.
